"Malas Lenguas Noche" reached a record audience on its first night on La 1 and took the nightly lead from "La ruleta," according to El Periódico. The ratings report, published Sunday, covers Spanish television viewing from the previous day.
The shift followed a Spain–England match that El Periódico says dominated the night with a 43% share.
The same outlet attributes the record to the program's jump to the public broadcaster's main channel, describing the move as the reason it displaced "La ruleta" at the top of the night. El Periódico did not publish further audience figures in the material available.
Coverage of the Spain–England fixture extended well beyond the ratings pages. El País framed the match around a player's path from a Buenos Aires nightclub to Wembley, while MARCA described Spain as sowing panic and El Mundo highlighted two substitutes and Lamine's focus, quoting a view that Spain is "a mature team that reinvents itself." Cadena SER reported that Spain extended its unbeaten run to 39 matches, a sequence it says moves the team past Argentina, Italy and Brazil.
Those reports are separate from the audience data and come from their respective outlets; El Periódico's account is limited to the viewing figures for the night.
The next set of daily ratings will show whether "Malas Lenguas Noche" holds the lead on La 1 or whether "La ruleta" recovers the top spot.
