I've recently been tuning in to TeleMadrid via the Internet. I must say I'm shocked how biased it is against the socialist government. Every news item seemed to be making some sort of point against the Prime Minister, or strongly criticising government policy. According to TeleMadrid, it seems that under Mr Zapatero the end of Spain as we know it is nigh!

Hi Bricamb! Sorry, but we have a "NO POLITICS" policy here. I nearly had to shut down the message board at one time because of the hostility it yields, nearly turning our travel board into a political venting post. Please refrain. Thanks for understanding.

Swaying away from politics then :p

I think it was this channel i was watching were they drive around in a taxi and are quizzed in the back

Brilliant, alot better than English quiz shows...will be tuning into another random Spanish channel later to see what other interesting programs i can find

Yes! I like that program too! It's called Taxi, Taxi . It's a good way to learn or test your knowledge of Madrid (and Spain, I think) while testing your level of Spanish. It's very entertaining.

Sorry I missed Taxi, Taxi while I was there but I did enjoy Metro a Metro. Great way to not only learn more Spainsh but get to know the city and some history as well.
I've been trying to fing it on the net but no luck yet.

I love Telemadrid. The programs they have are in my opinion the best of all public TV stations in Spain. MADRID DIRECTO for example has been so good that even TVE1 has adapted its own version ESPAÑA DIRECTO.

Bfffff...for me it is REALLY HARD not to complain about what Telemadrid has become in the last four years, but I have to respect what MadridMan says about politics in this forum. But yes, TeleMadrid is unique, not only in Spain but also in Europe.It is not very easy to find din Europe channels with characters like Sanchez Dragó, and...

I love metro a metro and also pasapalabra(on a different channel), which after 6 weeks here and watching it nearly every day i´m finally beginning to understand the questions, he reads them so fast. Metro a metro i can even answer some questions now, i´m so proud!!

Good for you, sallyanne!

I try to catch Madrid Directo every evening.

And every morning - like RIGHT NOW - I try to watch the morning program from 9:30 to about 11:30am. When I say watch I mean I have it on the TV behind me while I work and I'll spin my head around when something sounds interesting.
