The “RTVE Responde” program also detailed the conditions of the agreement with Eurosport for the broadcast of the Olympic Games
Yesterday Sunday, one more month, La 2 broadcast the program “RTVE Responde” in which it clarifies the doubts and complaints of the spectators. In this last edition, women’s sport had special relevance, whose audiovisual broadcasts had starred in several controversies in recent days. In fact, an event that occurred last weekend was that the Sports Department decided to give priority to the broadcast of the final of the Badminton European Championship. in which Carolina Marín won the gold, before giving the first part of the final of the Basketball King’s Cup live.
Arsenio Cañada, Sports Director of RTVE explained that «It is very common for several sporting events to overlap on weekends at the same time, while only one can be broadcast on Teledeporte. Although he recognized that these changes in the schedule can be better communicated so as not to cause confusion, he recalled that both games could be followed simultaneously through the web. In addition, viewers asked why not all the Iberdrola League matches are broadcast. Arsenio recalled that RTVE reached an agreement with the Royal Football Federation to broadcast those teams (in his performances as a local) whose rights belong to the Federation, which would not be more than five.
The program also had time to ask Arsenio about the unacceptable macho comments made by a broadcast operator during the break of a women’s soccer game. This sound could only be heard in the broadcast of the international signal in Latin America but a user on Twitter published the fragment. In it, attacks such as calling the players “feminazis” are heard. From RTVE they have ensured that all the sanction measures available for this type of action will be applied to the professional who starred in these unfortunate statements.
Arsenio also communicated the agreement that RTVE has reached for the broadcast of the Olympic Games on public television for the broadcast of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, which will be held this summer. «I must clarify that the agreement with Eurosport consists of the broadcast of 400 hours of content for first broadcasts -without counting reruns-. But among the five channels that RTVE has at its disposal, there are not so many hours, about 5 a day per channel. In addition, Arsenio clarified that priority will always be given to the performances of Spanish athletes, in addition to broadcasting the two ceremonies, opening and closing, live. In addition, Arsenio recalled that Spain is the third country with the most classified teams, a total of 9, which makes managing those 400 hours even more difficult.
In RTVE Responde they also apologized again for the harsh images that were broadcast during a newscast in which a shooting in Russia was told. Faced with such harsh images, the news anchors must warn viewers of the content of said images, something they did not do a few days ago. RTVE has issued a statement apologizing for what happened and admitting that the directors of Noticias they decided not to put the notice as it was “open and general plans.”
