1. Let’s move on to numbers and facts. From Monday to Friday last week, with a few exceptions, SIC missed all charts. That is, TVI won with “Two in 10”, “A Única Mulher”, “Goucha”, “Big Brother”, “Festa É Festa”, “Quero É Viver” and “Forever”. Disaster for Daniel Oliveira, who sees his station in the lead thanks to the daytime and evening papers, where he clearly has no program director duties.
With 2022 already in the pocket, even if it loses November and December due to TVI, SIC has major issues to deal with. Daniel Oliveira, who has never risked a drifting opponent, will have to leave.
And 2023 is just around the corner, and José Eduardo Moniz is focusing his priorities on information, the most difficult area. It can be seen. That’s where the key to success lies. If the station Queluz de Baixo grows in the papers – the difference at night reaches 200 thousand viewers, playing “Telejornal”, from RTP1 one day or another, an unthinkable thing – we will have a new audience leader, almost four years later. .
2. Barbara Guimarães was called in place of Julie Pinheiro in the afternoon of the SIC. The legacy was difficult – taking the place of an experienced colleague and running into Manuel Luis Gusha at the time is a lot, the commitment was infamous, but it is clear that the host’s time has in fact passed and that she therefore has no more options at the Paço de station – Arcos.
3. False images on our TV are here to stay. From computer games to “colorize” the war in Ukraine (SIC and TVI) to Lula’s victory in Brazil with fireworks “made in Croatia” (RTP), there is everything. Now the explosion in Istanbul has been shown on a public channel with another… March 2016; and during the conquest of Kherson by the Ukrainians, we saw Nuno Rogueiro and José Milhazes commenting on the news of a video in the city eight months ago. Pitiful grief!
4. José Manuel Freitas buys TV Guia every week – it’s required reading at home. The renowned journalist and CMTV commentator has been to six World Cups (!) and, to our pride, agreed to share some stories with us while this (infamous) FIFA competition takes place in Qatar. Enjoy, it’s worth it.
