La 1 challenges Antena 3 with its best November in 14 years

La 1 slightly approaches the audience throne, although Antena 3's dominance seems, for now, unattainable. The first channel of TVE recorded a 12.3% audience share in November—the same figure as in October—compared to Atresmedia's 13% during the same period—losing a tenth—making it the most-watched channel in the country for the sixteenth consecutive month. Both networks leave Telecinco out of the game, which, with a 9% average, deepens its crisis by hitting a new low, losing four tenths compared to the previous month.

Antena 3 closes November consolidating its television leadership in the highest consumption slots. In 'prime time', it achieves a 13.9% share, while in the afternoon it dominates with an 18.1% average. It is the favourite choice among those over 65 (16%) and wins in eight autonomous communities, standing out in Andalusia (14%) and the Valencian Community (15.6%).

In this regard, 'Antena 3 Noticias' news programmes continue to be a reference for the audience, with a 19.3% share and over 2 million viewers on average, marking 71 consecutive months of leadership. Particularly noteworthy is Sandra Golpe's midday edition with a 24% share and over 2.2 million viewers, her best figure since 2007; or Vicente Vallés in the evening (18.7% and 2.2 million).

In entertainment, 'El hormiguero' (15.5% and 2 million) remains the most-watched programme of the night, once again beating David Broncano's 'La revuelta', and 'Pasapalabra' leads with a 20.3% share and over 2.1 million. At midday, 'La ruleta de la suerte' continues unstoppable with a 22.5% share and 1.6 million, achieving its best November in 17 years and adding 67 consecutive months of leadership.

The good performance of the public channel represents a growth of 2.1 points compared to the previous year. The channel leads several key slots, such as the morning (14.9%)—its best figure since 2008—and the afternoon (11.6%), whose first position it had not achieved since 2009. It also records its best 'prime time' in November since 2011, with a 12.7% share. By targets, it leads the audience among young people aged 13-24 (11.4%), 25-44 (10.5%), and 45-64 (12.5%). And by territories, it leads in Aragon, the Balearic Islands, the Basque Country, Madrid, and other communities, being also the most-watched national generalist in Catalonia.

The explanation for La 1's rise lies in its magazines or current affairs formats, the so-called 'infoshows', which continue to trend upwards amid the high demand for information in recent weeks. 'La hora de La 1', with Silvia Intxaurrondo, reaches historic highs, with an 18.9% share and 367,000 viewers, not counting its 24-hour broadcast. 'Mañaneros 360' matches its best share (16.5%) and its second block also marks highs (12.3% and 962,000). 'Directo al grano' achieves an 11% share and almost 900,000 viewers, its record since its premiere, while 'Malas lenguas', with Jesús Cintora, rises to a 12.3% share and over 1.1 million viewers. Meanwhile, 'Aquí la Tierra' reaches its best historical share (13.5%) and surpasses 1.4 million.

In entertainment, the 'reality' show 'Hasta el fin del mundo' achieves the best premiere in seven years (14.3%). 'Late Xou', by Marc Giró, records its best historical average (12%), while 'Futuro imperfecto', by Buenafuente, leads Thursdays with a 13.4% share. Additionally, in 'prime time', the historical series 'Ena. La reina Victoria Eugenia' debuts with a 17% share, the best premiere of a historical fiction since 2013. The Spain–Turkey football match is the most-watched of the month with over 3.9 million viewers and a 29.4% share, followed by the Georgia–Spain match with 2.7 million and 29.1%.

At Telecinco, joys come in dribs and drabs. 'El programa de Ana Rosa' can boast of being the 'day time' slot with the best audience share on the channel (12.2% and 305,000), outperforming Antena 3's 'Espejo público'. In prime time, 'La isla de las tentaciones' (15.9% and 1,305,000) stands out on Monday nights, with a spectacular 41.7% share among young viewers (aged 13 to 24). Also noteworthy are the good performances of '¡De viernes!' (13.6%) and 'Bailando con las estrellas' (11.4%).

At the lower end, laSexta (6.3%) beats Cuatro (6%), which records its best mark of the last year. La 2, with a 3.1% share, also achieves its best November since 2009. The TDT channel podium is led by FDF (2.3%), followed by Energy (2.3%) and Trece (2%). Boing also leads among children (17.5%). The traditional TV consumption time per viewer per day is 285 minutes, nine minutes less than in 2024.
