A return to La 2

RTVE has decided to move Al cielo con ella, the programme presented by Henar Álvarez, from La 1 back to La 2, the channel where it started. The show will air on Sundays at 22:00 from Sunday, 1 November, leaving its Tuesday prime-time slot on La 1. The format had moved to La 1 in April 2026 to fill the gap left by Marc Giró's Late Xou, and it did not hold its audience there. RTVE presents the change as a return to its roots, while La Razón notes that the broadcaster has not detailed its reasons.

Ratings on La 1

El Mundo's figures show a season that opened on 29 September with 8.2% share and 549,000 viewers. The programme peaked on 6 October at 10.5% and 731,000 viewers, a night helped by a Spanish national football match and the strong performance of La Revuelta. It then slid to 7.3% and 553,000 viewers on 13 October, and to 6.7% and 489,000 on 20 October.

EL PAÍS says the 20 October result was the programme's weakest since its move to La 1 prime time, and that La 1 averages 13.1% share so far in October.

El Confidencial compares the show with El perro andaluz, Manu Sánchez's Thursday programme, which reached 19% share in its latest episode.

What replaces it

MasterChef Celebrity Legends takes over the Tuesday slot, with two consecutive episodes on Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 October. La Razón reports that the talent show averages 11.6% share and 630,000 viewers this edition. RTVE has not said whether the double episode is a one-off or what will fill the Tuesday slot afterwards. The return on 1 November will feature actresses Lola Herrera and Blanca Portillo as guests. Herrera will discuss the play 'Camino a la Meca', in which she plays Helen Martins, while Portillo will present the film 'Día de caza', which she stars in with Carmen Machi and Rossy de Palma. Ana Morgade will contribute to the episode, and the music will come from Manny Calavera.

Henar Álvarez responds

After the announcement, Álvarez reacted on social media, saying the team does not feel defeated by the change. She wrote on Instagram:

“We are fine, proud of every programme we make. That is what we always wanted when we started this adventure, and it is what we will keep doing.”

She also thanked the audience for their company and announced the new schedule, with the show returning to its usual Sunday night slot on La 2.

Background and what comes next

The programme began in 2024 on RTVE Play before moving to La 2, where, according to La Razón, it reached above-average ratings. It climbed to La 1 after Easter 2026, with an interview with Shakira as its launch guest, El Mundo reports for 7 April. RTVE's announcement describes the move as a return to its roots, and says the show will keep its mix of humour, personal stories and interviews.
