RTVE makes its move: Javier Ruiz out, Cintora joins 'Mañaneros 360'

Spain’s public broadcaster is facing a reshuffle at the top of its news operation. According to EL PAÍS, journalist Javier Ruiz bids farewell to RTVE this Friday, while Jorge Cintora joins 'Mañaneros 360'. The same paper also reports the return of Intxaurrondo to the network, although the journalist's first name is not specified in the visible summary of the article.

The announcement, first reported by the newspaper, sketches a new line-up across the corporation's news bulletins and current affairs programmes. Ruiz's departure — one of the most recognisable faces in the broadcaster's economics coverage — comes at a time of schedule readjustment. Cintora's arrival at 'Mañaneros 360', meanwhile, bolsters the morning slot with a profile well-versed in political analysis.

The continuity of other prominent names, such as Xabier Fortes and Iglesias in the news programmes, completes a picture in which RTVE's management is making moves in peak-time slots. The report, carried by EL PAÍS, includes no financial figures or audience data in its headline or visible summary that would allow the scale of the changes to be quantified.

The move comes mid-legislature and affects professionals with significant media exposure. The political reading of who is rising and who is falling remains, for now, a matter of interpretation: the available information confirms the moves but does not detail the internal reasons behind them or the terms of the agreements.

So far, neither RTVE nor the journalists involved have made additional public statements expanding on the announcement. The broadcaster itself has issued no official statement confirming or qualifying the information published by EL PAÍS.
