Asturmedia, with technical support from Overon and Eumovil, managed production design and signal broadcast for this historic sporting event

Asturmedia, a GRUP MEDIAPRO company, was commissioned to deliver the broadcast and production of the international signal for the 88th edition of the Descenso Internacional del Sella, an international canoe race down the Sella River in Asturias, on August 8, providing the service for Televisión Autonómica del Principado de Asturias (TPA). GRUP MEDIAPRO's deployment for this well-known canoeing event also included technical support from Overon and Eumovil.  

To cover the race, which runs 20 kilometers along the Sella River between the Asturian towns of Arriondas and Ribadesella, GRUP MEDIAPRO mobilized more than 80 professionals. Asturmedia supplied directing, production and executive production staff, along with reporters and presenters. Overon contributed five satellite units and 14 transmission backpacks, while Eumovil provided two HD OB units.

The technical setup from GRUP MEDIAPRO's companies was spread across the start in Arriondas, the route along the Sella River, and the finish in Ribadesella. At the start, a reporter was on hand alongside an OB unit with five cameras, a drone and a DSNG unit. The deployment was even bigger along the 20-kilometer river route, with 17 cameras, three satellite units and three drones. At the finish line, an OB unit was set up with eight cameras, a drone, a DSNG unit and a TV Receive Only system, along with a commentary booth staffed by three commentators and a reporter stationed at the podium.

Televisión Autonómica del Principado de Asturias (TPA) and Teledeporte broadcast the race. TPA drew a 40.7% share with an average audience of 43,000 viewers, while Teledeporte drew a 2.6% share and 82,000 viewers. Kike Rodríguez Villanueva directed and coordinated the broadcast and also oversaw the project's design and executive production. 

This year's Descenso Internacional del Sella, popularly known as 'Les Piragües' and declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest, brought together more than 1,200 paddlers from 22 countries. Walter Bouzán and Alberto Llera took the men's K2 title, repeating last year's win, while Amaia Osaba and Llara Tuset won the women's K2. 

The awards will be presented on September 12 at the festival's closing gala

The Vitoria-Gasteiz Television Festival (FesTVal) has confirmed the winners for its 18th edition, running September 7-12. Among this year's honorees is El Gran Wyoming, host of 'El Intermedio' on laSexta, who will receive the 2026 Joan Ramón Mainat Award in recognition of a singular, prolific career as a comedian, actor and broadcaster, and an undisputed reference point for political satire on Spanish television. El Gran Wyoming has hosted 'El Intermedio', produced by Atresmedia in collaboration with Globomedia, since 2006. The 2025-2026 season marked the show's 20th year on air, and it has become one of the most influential voices in Spanish political comedy.

Jesús Cintora will also be honored, recognized for the strong ratings success achieved at the helm of 'Malas lenguas', produced by RTVE in collaboration with Big Bang Media. The current-affairs program blends interviews, political round-table discussion and social commentary, reaffirming the personal stamp the journalist has brought to the show throughout its first season.

In the drama category, 'Yakarta' — a Movistar Plus+ Original produced by 100 Balas — will be recognized at FesTVal 2026 for the narrative boldness with which Diego San José portrays a story about broken dreams and bitter generosity, seen through the lens of badminton and a washed-up former Olympic athlete played by Javier Cámara. The series, which co-stars young actress Carla Quílez, was one of the most critically acclaimed dramas of last season. The FesTVal award adds to a growing list of honors for 'Yakarta', including three Feroz Awards (Best Drama Series, Best Screenplay and Best Actor for Javier Cámara), a Forqué Award (Best Actor in a Series for Javier Cámara), and Seriemanía Awards from Cinemanía magazine (Best Spanish Drama Series, Best Actor for Javier Cámara, and Best Breakthrough Actress for Carla Quílez).

FesTVal is also honoring talk show 'Gaupasa', produced by K2000 for ETB1, for refreshing the network's late-night slot with a format — hosted by Julen Telleria — that blends interviews, comedy and live music from the show's house band, Gaubanda. The program has brought back a relaxed, down-to-earth conversational space to ETB1's nightly lineup, backed by a wide-ranging cast of familiar faces as regular contributors.
