The soccer in the Spanish televisions
In NdF we have already spoken to you often on the soccer transmissions in the televisions of this country. My first intention was to give you my opinion about ‘The manolos’ of Four, but seeing how the introduction was getting longer me, I have seen that could start by giving a revision to other free sections of sports of the television (or what is the same: about Channel + I cannot speak because I do not have it).
Presently, the average level of the sections of sports of the Spanish televisions is paupérrimo. In Telecinco, J. J. Santos keeps on demonstrating that he will be a good office journalist, but in front of the camera it does not have the necessary attractive minimum or the delight to hook; deficit that Piqueras thought ingenuously that it would cover with the signing of Sara Carbonero. Under the guidance of the journalist with the biggest forehead of the world, they all have been buying the transmission that they have been able, like the UEFA Europe League or the World cup of Clubs. What to say about Jot – jot that should not have been said either? Fernando you spoke already in his moment on his two versions, the misinformed one and the informal one, to everyone worse, and nothing has changed since then.
Very well, I lie: now also the pain meets to us on the broiler of Telecinco, audacity that also we must suffer in all the chains, except in 2, since Four began to do it with those announcements of ‘Dexter‘ during the last Euroglass. Now, while one sees a party (without the possibility of putting the audio radio), it has to bear that they give him the rattle with which on Monday there will be a new episode of ‘The Lady’, or which in two days ‘House‘ turns, or that next throw other one of Chuck Norris … For not speaking about the happy 10.000 euros that can touch you if you send: now! "meimportauncarajoelpartido" to 2626.
In The Sixth one they tried to innovate when they began, especially putting the transmission of the parties in charge of recently deceased Andrés Montes. It is undeniable that his style supposed an innovation and that it minted some terms (invented or copied) like the Tiqui-taca or nicknames like ‘Shark‘ for Puyol or ‘Motorbike GP’ for Alves. With the time, it began to turn out to be boring because his narrative capacity was not on a par with his histrionics. How many times was he wrong of player … Of course because it was used to seeing ten very tall guys from fence that to twenty-two not so high ones from a distance.
For more inri, this invention of the multi-party is a supine foolery, with these types with giant earphones telling you what they can see for the TV and you not; it is already known that that very much it includes, he presses little … Without forgetting the shameful spectacle of last year when, in the party before to Madrid – Barca of 2-6, they left this party in failure while they were tuning in to the Bernabéu and even put an advertizing block in the middle of the second part of this previous meeting. Of course, the pursuit that they do of other leagues (Englishwoman, Italian, German …) is something worthy of applause.
In Antenna 3 the sports have been left a little aside from that epoch of the parties on Monday night and, especially, since they lost the Champions this year. I am only capable of remembering the name of José Antonio Luque because it seems as if the presence of Matías Prats, correct but boring and monocorde, very far of the figure of his father in this sense, it was darkening his partners. Also, in this shameful current of ignoring the sports that re-transmit other chains, those of Antenna 3 gain the garland: if out for them you would not know, for example, who there is Fernando Alonso (in this aspect only channel TVE is saved, but good: only it would be missing talking each other of the public chain!) . The zenith of his politics ‘soccer = advertizing income’ came in the last final of the Champions, when they went away to publicity after the whistle of the umpire, leaving pigeonholes to the style Formula 1 by which scarcely there was seen the celebration of the staff of the Barcelona.
Attending to the sport in general (this is, not only to the soccer) to channel TVE it produces the best sports contents. Now they already do not have the Champions and behind those years stay with soporific Jose Ángel of the House and unclassifiable Míchel (to whom, in the stadiums where the parties expressed by The 1 were staking, they were singing the same that when it was playing). At present it is necessary to emphasize the transmissions of the Premier responsible for José Manuel Díaz, ‘The Voice of the Premier’, and Jose Antonio Martín Petón, to today the best thing, with much, inside the soccer emission in Spanish televisions. They form the best couple, mixing the pure transmission with tactical comments of big level, in addition to demonstrating an absolute knowledge on the league that they continue (something that there cannot say not almost any of the journalists who do Spanish soccer).
They already received good criticism in this blog, specifically in the comments of Carlos’s post about Santi Cañizares, and I believe that, if the public television acquires again the rights of the Champions or some domestic competition, the couple of the Premier would deserve an opportunity in One. Petón also does a good work in the ‘Sports Carousel’ of the Chain SER and, does a time, it had a section in ‘The Crossbeam’ that was called ‘a Sacred History of the Soccer’ that I recommend earnestly to the one who does not know it for that I looked for Internet (in TO BE they erased the section).
On the section of Sports of Four I will speak to you in a future post, because the case of ‘The manolos’ deserves that we dedicate a special attention.
