On Saturday, June 12, the second episode of “Programa Cautelar” was broadcast on RTP1. The ratings war was the main theme of the second issue of the channel’s new format.
The episode featured interviews with Cristina Ferreira, TVI Presenter and Director of Entertainment and Fiction, Fernando Mendes, host of the RTP1 “O Price Certo” competition, and Felipela Lopez, commentator and professor at the University of Minho.
In a conversation with Philomena Cautilla, Christina Ferreira began by defending that “the fans are more than the numbers that are given every day.” “Look at the numbers for cable TV and TV without cable. Then compare (…) Ricardo Araujo Pereira is on the SIC and drives every time he goes to the antenna on the SIC, and not so long ago he gave an interview to say who on TVI was losing to SIC breaks What has changed? Nothing has changed,”
“Did he change? Did the look change? Did the people change? So explain to me why there was no complete disaster with Ricciardo at the time.”
“I stopped being the best presenter because now I lost? I don’t have a problem with losing. If I didn’t want to lose, I was in SIC. Has anyone thought about that?” , confirmed.
