La hora de La 1 changes faces for summer without losing audience

Published on June 28, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The RTVE morning magazine, which reached a record 18.8% share, begins its summer season with new hosts. Aida Bao and Álex Barreiro take over from Silvia Intxaurrondo, who has gone on vacation. The network thus ensures the continuity of the program without interruptions, maintaining its daily broadcast until the return of the main host in September.

Television production as an automated relay system 🎬

From a technical perspective, the transition of hosts in a daily magazine requires precise logistics. The production team adjusts the rundown timings, lighting, and graphics resources to adapt to the new profiles. In La hora de La 1, the program's structure remains intact: fixed segments, live connections, and current affairs blocks. The key lies in a style guide that any host can execute, like a hot-patch system without data loss.

Silvia leaves, but the TV sofa doesn't rest ☕

While Intxaurrondo enjoys her well-deserved break, the team wonders if Aida and Álex will also have to inherit her famous morning coffee or if the cup will travel with her to the beach. The truth is that the audience will barely notice the change, unless the new hosts forget the exact camera position at 9:15. But no drama: on TV, as in the pool, there is always a float ready to appear on screen.
