Overview
- Hours after his July 21 farewell broadcasts on La Sexta and Mega, Mediaset España announced a long-duration deal to sign Josep Pedrerol and his habitual team to continue El Chiringuito at the group.
- Mediaset's statement says the programme will keep its established formula of live football news, analysis and debate and will bring the same core collaborators to the new stage.
- El Chiringuito's official X account signalled continuity with the message “Nuevo logo, nuevo canal. Misma hora, mismo Chiringuito,” promising the same time slot and format for viewers.
- Pedrerol described his split from Atresmedia as consensual and framed the move as an editorial evolution toward a less aggressive tone, citing a change prompted by a remark from the mother of player Guti.
- Key operational details remain open: Mediaset has not named which of its channels will air El Chiringuito and it has not confirmed whether a new Jugones or other companion projects will be relaunched, a development that will shape scheduling and competitive impact.
