Televisión Española (TVE) will officially premiere its completely overhauled visual design and high-tech news set on Monday, August 31, 2026. For the first time ever, Spain’s public broadcaster is simultaneously uniting its flagship news program Telediarios, its rolling news channel Canal 24 Horas, and its regional territorial centers (CC. TT.) under a shared corporate identity.

  • The new graphic design will debut on the 1 p.m. newscast on August 31st.
  • It features a more modern, dynamic, and recognizable look, with a screen ecosystem that expands narrative possibilities and a studio designed to integrate new technologies.
  • The new studio incorporates a modular table to adapt to the story: from the standard newscast format to major specials with multiple analysts.
  • The newscast presenting team remains the same: Alejandra Herranz, Pepa Bueno, Alex Barreiro, Mireia Alzuria, Marc Sala, and Lourdes Maldonado.

This would have to be the record of the longest ever single post on Mediaspy! Wow

Franceinfo was in breaking news mode on the relaunch night for the death of a former French PM.

Not once did the story scroll on the ticker - Sky News could learn from that.

What? They didn’t have their breaking story on their ticker?

I watched it on SBS on Demand and I am always fascinated by how long the headlines are on Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American news programs. I guess they treat it more like summaries of top stories rather than a show preview like we do in the Anglosphere.

RTVE has debuted too, taking a page from Antena 3 with the centre-aligned supers:

How many ways can you cross to your fellow reporters?

The sports presenter came out behind the screen pillar.

And what could’ve been quite a cool story intro (if not followed by Trump’s AI bullshit)

Looks pretty decent - way better than Franceinfo with similar rounded rectangles - but there’s some elements that might be dropped pretty soon IMO. The headline bumping up and down at the start of a story, the blurred background that occasionally delays for half a second, to name a few.


The 24h bulletin opener:

Half expected the layout to look very close to France, but still uses the same supers with redesigned margins, which led to first-day woes like this:

The frosted glass ticker doesn’t fit with the solid colours in the rest of the package, and the legibility is bad whenever the vision is bright.

And there has to be a better way to fit a picture in picture, right ABC?

Yes. Their ticker runs with breaking news whenever possible, even if there’s nothing more than the initial story so the same sentence is seen over and over again.

BFMTV is also guilty of that as well to a degree.

and your saying Sky should do the same?

When Sky News uk introduced the yellow breaking news ticker, the purpose of it was to show breaking news when the story wasn’t running and when they were rolling the breaking news story the ticker would return to normal.

I think they’re saying Sky should do what Franceinfo does. (I do too)

I always found it weird how they copied CNNI, who had gone yellow for breaking news… and a few years later CNN ditched the yellow. Meanwhile Sky have kept it to this day.

Sorry but that set looks shit house. Literally just screen walls with no depth or enhanced story telling delivery

Some departures…

CNBC’s Hong Kong office is no more, alongside 3 daytime shows launched last May.

Their Asia feed started in Hong Kong in 1995, but the main studio later moved to Singapore as they merged with the competing ABN (Asia Business News). This was from 1996:


Turns out LTV1 in Latvia also ended their late news back in June. Usual suspect: low audience count, and the usual solution: Going Digital-First™.
