For some years the programs broadcast in prime time in our country are stretched late into the morning, further angering viewers, since a vast majority madruga the next day. The latest controversy has caused the end of Masterchef Celebrity, which he ended at two o'clock
impossible schedules. Blocks of eternal advertising and, in his absence, endless programs that make the viewer to surrender and go to bed without knowing the final. You'll see the next day in social networks. This is the dynamics of the night programming of Spanish television for many years,,es,The key to this situation could lie in the gradual increase in the space known as,,es,Telecinco was the first chain to bet on offering an appetizer before the main course at the end of the,,es,the opening act for the show began to steal minutes of performance from the main artist,,es,to delay his entrance on stage,,es,As these are a minority,,es,They have indicated that the reason is due to the fact that Spaniards arrive home later and later after work,,es. A tyranny that forces viewers at home to hold awake at the expense of giving up sleep if they want to attend the end of your favorite reality or want to watch a movie flip. More and more complaints, amplified Twitter Y Facebook, where the population expresses weariness to this abusive behavior by the broadcast networks, which, They do not take into account workers who begin their journey from early.
Increased access time
La clave de esta situación podría radicar en el aumento paulatino del espacio conocido como access time. In the television argot, this time is the time between the traditional nine and informative content delivered in the prime time, the prime time. Telecinco fue la primera cadena en apostar por ofrecer un entremés antes del plato fuerte a finales los 90 known as "Informal". The legendary comedy show that catapulted media about Florentino Fernández, Miki Nadal y Patricia Fernández, He hovered near start time on 21:30 and it stretched a little over a quarter of an hour past the 22. De esta forma, a hole in the grill with a content generating value for the chain was filled.
Sin embargo, over the years this access time It was delayed until now placed on ten p.m., that is to say, when you have to start to primetime. Por tanto, el telonero de la función empezaba a robarle minutos de actuación al artista principal, or at least, a dilatar su entrada en el escenario. The problem is that many who are in their homes suffer from "Cinderella phenomenon": as the clock strikes twelve must go to rest to pay the next day.
And if it was not enough, the duration of these spaces exceeds the initial half hour, in some cases to be around fifty minutes. Bringing the prime time It is delayed to 22:45 O 22:50 in the worst case. Almost an hour later. Por ello, It is hoped that those who only have two hours for television entertainment look annoyed because, almost certainly, half of your favorite program or series will be.
All chains have pointed to this trend: Antenna 3 with "The Anthill"; The Sixth with “The intermediate”; Four with "First Dates", and Spanish TV a few months ago with "Rush Hour". Telecinco is the least abused the practice of "intermission", but with more than one of his series he has gotten summaries moments behind the scenes to delay the issuance of the chapter and go on par with other competitors. And although some of these spaces can be considered first class, as "The Anthill" or "First Dates", let take one night of programming because it is impossible to fit a content behind them to finish before twelve.

When prime time Y late night They merge into one
And speaking of this barrier of the twelve, It must be noted that until recently constituted the boundary between prime time and the late night. For the uninitiated, he late night It is the space below the primetime and entering the early hours of the morning. Since the beginning of the crisis in Spain and especially with the rise in unemployment in our country, it was discovered that the people who stayed awake watching television late at night was increasingly numerous. This fact did not go unnoticed by the chains and decided to give greater importance to this quota night, traditionally reserved for programs such as "The Martian Chronicles" or "Buenafuente". These were the dessert menu offered every night by television. lighter spaces with viewers enduring on the sofa could relax. Al ser estos una minoría, programming became more specific to the type of trasnochador profile and away from the familiar vision that a program must meet prime.
But all that changed with the increase in unemployed population and the growth of home entertainment due to the ailing economic situation of many Spanish families, so that those responsible for the "idiot box" decided to become the champions of entertainment in all our homes, and it was when they had this revelation: Why not extend the program beyond the two hours if, total, many of our viewers are still awake with us? And while we extend, Why not do it until two in the morning and so with a single program will cover all night?
And so as, killing two birds with one stone, the grid was configured so that anyone who wants to see end a live program have to prepare for four hours of broadcast. That if you do not have to get up early the next day. Jordi González, host of "Big Brother Debate" and "Big Brother" is so aware of this situation that always dismissed their programs with a "good morning!"And last Tuesday social networks were furious because until two in the morning not revealed the winner of"Masterchef Celebrity”. People complained in twitter that TVE did not think they had to get up at seven o'clock, not to mention the program began ten minutes of eleven p.m.. They started ten, as usual for years, He had concluded at one, time when many gave up and went to bed regretting that had not yet begun the final test that would leave the winner.

The chains are justified
Regarding our European neighbors, once again, touches us lose. El horario de prime time de países como Reino Unido o Francia ronda las 21 hours and many of its spaces do not exceed midnight. In fact, TVE campaign had put in this form including in many of its spaces a fly on one of the corners of the screen informing that the space issue just before noon. But with the landing of the new program in Javier Cardenas access time, it seems that the public broadcaster has forgotten this purpose.

When ever you have been consulted or experts responsible for this decision to move times, estos han indicado que el motivo se debe a que los españoles llegan cada vez más tarde a sus hogares después del trabajo. And it has been delayed prime time hour on average audience, to provide the most power sit in front of your TV.
Anyway, more and more voices in the street claiming finish watching your favorite shows and series through internet platforms VOD. Which, We beg with greater firmness if the future of television lies in the liberalization of the grill and everyone to see what you want when you want. Eso sí, when it comes to the end of a "Big Brother" or "Mastechef", We must tread very careful that you do not spoileen the next morning because living interconnected media and social networks, mantenerse “virgen” it becomes an arduous task.
