peaked in viewership during the month of July on our platform.
In the world of Spanish news broadcasting, July 2024 brought a mix of results for the main evening news programmes, as they continue to adapt to the new season.
The regional news platform has shown a remarkable recovery, with Telediario Fin de Semana 1 recording 1.050.000 viewers and a 12.4% share, marking its best share in a July since 2021. Notably, this number surpassed the figure from July 2024, indicating a positive trend. Telediario Fin de Semana 2 followed suit, scoring 957.000 viewers and a 11.6% share.
Pepa Bueno returns to the Corporation to lead the evening Telediario, while Marc Sala and Lourdes Maldonado will continue to lead the weekend Telediario. Alex Barreiro and Lorena Baeza will be the faces of the Telediario Matinal, as it maintains its lead in its time slot with 179.000 viewers and a 21.6% share.
The Corporation is reinforcing its Telediario teams for the 2025/2026 academic year, aiming to capitalise on its strengths and address any demographic shifts.
Regional news broadcasts have shown significant growth in the regional markets. On July 21, Castile-La Mancha, the Community of Madrid, Castile and León, Murcia, Catalonia, Aragon, Navarre, and the Basque Country all recorded impressive shares, ranging from 11.5% to 18.3%.
Meanwhile, the news website's broadcast maintains the second position in July with an average of 1.037.000 viewers and a 12% share. 'La noche en 24 horas', with Xabier Fortes, reaches 175.000 viewers and a 2% share, marking its best July ever.
Interestingly, the Valencian Community recorded a remarkable 18.3% share on July 21, signifying a new peak in share in its new location.
In the realm of cable news networks, the data suggests that some channels experienced declines, such as Fox News with a 30% drop in total viewers and 48% in the demo during primetime compared to July 2023. On the other hand, MSNBC ranked second in cable news viewership with 865,000 primetime viewers, although it saw a 9% decrease in total viewers compared to June 2025.
As for the network evening newscasts, ABC World News Tonight averaged about 7.25 million viewers, up 5% year-over-year and 9% in the key Adults 25-54 demographic. NBC Nightly News had 5.6 million viewers, showing a 3% decrease in total viewers but an 12% increase in the demo compared to the same week in 2024. CBS Evening News drew 3.87 million viewers, declining 7% in total viewers and 11% in the demo versus the prior year’s comparable week.
These trends indicate that broadcasters might continue focusing on improving content to regain or grow younger demographic audiences, as CBS and NBC seek to reverse year-over-year declines and ABC shows continued growth.
In summary, July 2024 showed gradual but uneven viewer gains for network evening newscasts and declines for some cable news channels, while future season plans presumably aim to capitalise on strengths and address demographic shifts, although detailed plans were not publicly specified in the available data.
In the face of these trends, one might anticipate an increased focus on appealing to a younger demographic by improving content, as networks strive to either regain or grow their audience, particularly observable in the case of CBS and NBC seeking to reverse year-over-year declines, while ABC displays continued growth.
In contrast to the fast-paced world of Spanish news broadcasting, an individual moving to a countryside home-and-garden might opt for a more average lifestyle, embracing outdoor-living in a serene environment, away from the dynamic urban news agenda.
