Horizonte tops Thursday TV ratings during coverage of Urda train crash
A train crash in Urda, Toledo drove extensive coverage on Spanish television this week.
Cuatro’s current-affairs programme Horizonte led for a second night, drawing a 15.6% audience share and 1.052 million viewers in its main Thursday slot.
In the same viewing window, it narrowly beat Telecinco’s Supervivientes All Stars, which had a 15.2% share.
La 1’s Malas lenguas special recorded an 8.4% share, although it began earlier than the main programmes it was compared with.
The result followed a record Wednesday for Horizonte, whose coverage of the crash helped lift Cuatro’s daily share well above its October average.
