Andy Kusnetzoff’s PH, podemos hablar again topped Saturday night’s television ratings, but its numbers fell from the level it had built since returning to Telefe a month ago.
The program scored 7.7 points in its first segment and 6.2 in its second. It had previously opened its return with 9.5 points, slipped to 8.1, climbed to 9.6, and then recorded 8.6 the following Saturday. Its guests this time were Carmen Barbieri, Chino Leunis, Tuli Acosta, Paula Caves and Turco Naim.
Pasapalabra, hosted by Iván de Pineda, finished third overall with an average of 5.5 points. The show moved to weekends after Popstars joined Telefe’s daily schedule. Ferné con Grego scored 5 points, while El Trece’s film program Cine 13 recorded 4.7 with Amenaza en lo profundo.
La noche de Mirtha matched its previous week’s 3.5 points, despite Juana Viale taking over the host’s chair because Mirtha Legrand could not work for health reasons. The table included Ana Rosenfeld, representing Wanda, and Elba Marcovecchio, representing Mauro Icardi, in the continuing Wandagate dispute.
The two lawyers repeatedly exchanged verbal jabs, leaving journalists Luciana Rubinska and Karina Iavícoli with little room to speak. The program finished fourth among El Trece’s shows and did not enter the day’s overall top five.
Telefe led the channel standings with 4.8 points, up three-tenths from the previous week. El Trece followed with 3.9, while América scored 1.1 and Elnueve 0.6. Televisión Pública and Net each recorded 0.2, and Bravo finished with zero.
