TheTP de Oro were a series ofSpanish annual television awards awarded between 1972 and 2011 byTeleprograma magazine.[1]
Initially baptized asLos mejores de TP (The best of TP), they were called for the first time in 1972, six years after the birth ofTeleprograma magazine. The winners were announced in April 1973, with the great winner of this first edition being theUn, dos, tres... responda otra vez contest, which won three awards: best program, best presenterKiko Ledgard and most popular character (Don Cicuta).
After the birth ofTV3 andETB Basque, in 1984 the categories were expanded to also recognize the best programs and professionals of regional television. In 1988, a new trophy was released to reward the winners, instead of the commemorative plaque delivered to date.
In 1991 the ceremony was broadcast for the first time on television, byTelecinco. The newly born private networks join the awards distribution, obtaining four Telecinco awards and oneAntena 3.
In 1992 the awards changed their name and became the TP de Oro, also launching a new award and new categories. On this occasion the gala was broadcast byCanal + and, a year later, byTelevisión Española.
In the 1996 edition, a new bronze statuette - in force until the last edition - was adopted, the work of the sculptorJoaquín Collantes, as a prize for the winners.
For four consecutive years (from 1994 to 1997), Antena 3 was in charge of broadcasting the ceremony and, subsequently, Telecinco did so for three more years (from 1998 to 2000). After the broadcast of TVE in 2001, Antena 3 took over again from 2002 to 2005.
The 2006 awards ceremony, corresponding to TP's 40th anniversary and 50 years of television in Spain, could not be broadcast due to business discrepancies between the magazine and the private channels.[2]
After this parenthesis, in 2007 the newly born La Sexta took over the broadcast of the awards, whose candidacies included the two new national channels:Cuatro andLa Sexta.
Since 2010, no network has broadcast the TP de Oro gala. In 2012, they were absorbed byFotogramas de Plata awards and the gala stopped taking place in 2013.[3]
