Lisbon, Portugal – A significant shift is underway in the Spanish digital media landscape as Ángel Carmona’s popular program, ‘Mañana Más,’ officially launches the novel programming grid for ‘EN PLAY,’ RTVE Play’s new streaming channel. The move, effective Monday, February 23, 2026, marks a pivotal moment for the display, expanding its reach beyond traditional radio to a wider online audience. A special premiere broadcast from the Teatro del Barrio followed ‘La Revuelta’ this evening, signaling the start of a new era for the program and RTVE’s streaming strategy.
‘Mañana Más,’ known for its blend of humor, music, and cultural commentary, has been a staple of RNE (Radio Nacional de España) for years. The program, spearheaded by journalist Ángel Carmona, has cultivated a loyal following through its insightful interviews and lively discussions. Now, with its integration into ‘EN PLAY,’ RTVE aims to capitalize on the growing demand for on-demand and live streaming content, offering viewers a more flexible and accessible way to engage with the show. This expansion isn’t simply a relocation; it’s a reimagining of the program for a digital-first audience.
The launch of ‘EN PLAY’ itself represents a broader effort by RTVE to strengthen its presence in the competitive streaming market. The new channel will feature a mix of original programs, live broadcasts, and content from RNE, including videopodcasts. This strategic move underscores RTVE’s commitment to providing diverse and engaging content to its audience, adapting to evolving consumption habits. The platform’s success will likely hinge on its ability to attract and retain viewers with high-quality programming like ‘Mañana Más.’
A New Home for a Familiar Voice
From Tuesday, February 24th, ‘Mañana Más’ will be broadcast live on ‘EN PLAY’ from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. This consistent schedule provides viewers with a reliable time slot to tune in and experience the program’s unique blend of entertainment and information. However, the show won’t be exclusive to the streaming platform. It will continue to be broadcast on RNE and available on demand through the RNE Audio app and RTVE Play, ensuring accessibility for a broad range of listeners and viewers. This multi-platform approach demonstrates RTVE’s commitment to reaching audiences wherever they are.
The transition to ‘EN PLAY’ isn’t just about expanding reach; it’s also about enhancing the viewing experience. The program has undergone a visual refresh, with renovated sets, improved lighting, and a dedicated performance space. These upgrades are designed to create a more immersive and engaging environment for viewers, complementing the show’s already strong content. The production team has incorporated new graphics that display information about the songs featured on the program, adding an extra layer of interactivity for music enthusiasts.
Fresh Faces and Familiar Favorites
While the core essence of ‘Mañana Más’ remains unchanged, the program is welcoming a mix of new and returning collaborators. Alongside established contributors like Ana Morgade, Raquel Hervás, and Laura del Val, the show will feature fresh voices including Lara Gil, Ouyang Zhu, and Raquel Elices. The Teatro del Barrio hosted a special live broadcast to celebrate the launch, bringing the energy of a live audience to the streaming platform. This infusion of new talent promises to inject fresh perspectives and dynamics into the program, keeping it relevant and engaging for its audience.
Music remains a central pillar of ‘Mañana Más.’ The program has a long history of showcasing both established and emerging artists, and this commitment will continue on ‘EN PLAY.’ From Rusowsky to Leiva, and Rubén Blades to Judeline, the show has consistently provided a platform for a diverse range of musical talent. Ángel Carmona’s extensive experience in the music industry – including his own performance background – allows him to secure insightful interviews and captivating live performances, making ‘Mañana Más’ a must-watch for music lovers.
‘EN PLAY’ Broadens RTVE’s Digital Footprint
The launch of ‘Mañana Más’ on ‘EN PLAY’ is part of a larger initiative to expand RTVE’s digital offerings. The channel is dedicating the 18:30 to 19:30 time slot to videopodcasts produced by RNE Audio, further diversifying its content library. Alongside ‘Mañana Más,’ ‘EN PLAY’ will also feature the second season of ‘Las del Cadillac,’ the humor-focused ‘Podcast, el pódcast,’ ‘Menudo cuadro’ with Carlota Corredera, David Insua, and David Andújar, and a video adaptation of the popular podcast ‘Influrrealismo mágico’ hosted by Lorena Macías. This strategic programming demonstrates RTVE’s commitment to providing a wide range of content to appeal to diverse audiences.
The success of ‘Mañana Más’ is evident in its growing audience. According to recent data, the program has reportedly doubled its radio audience, as measured by the latest EGM (Estudio General de Medios), and has seen a significant increase in consumption through podcasts and videopodcasts on RNE Audio. This growth underscores the program’s enduring appeal and its ability to connect with audiences across multiple platforms. The move to ‘EN PLAY’ is expected to further amplify this success, reaching an even wider audience and solidifying ‘Mañana Más’ as a leading voice in Spanish media.
‘Mañana más’ llega a ‘EN PLAY’
The transformation of ‘Mañana Más’ from a primarily radio-based program to a multi-platform offering highlights the evolving media landscape and the importance of adapting to changing consumer habits. RTVE’s investment in ‘EN PLAY’ and its commitment to diverse content creation position it for continued success in the digital age. The program’s ability to maintain its core identity while embracing new technologies and platforms will be key to its long-term viability.
Looking ahead, RTVE will continue to monitor the performance of ‘EN PLAY’ and ‘Mañana Más,’ making adjustments as needed to optimize the viewing experience and maximize audience engagement. The platform’s success will depend on its ability to attract and retain viewers with compelling content and a user-friendly interface.
