Abstract: Television, as a means of mass communication par excellence, is considered as an instrument of socialization, modeler of consciences and instigator of the public opinion. This research is part of the information and spectacle society. The objective is to analyze the types of audience and consumption habits in the sensationalist nature programs, in addition to the receipt of messages. Using a quantitative analysis, consisting of a questionnaire, it has analyzed a significant sample of 544 subjects, divided between Spain and Italy. The results obtained show that the Spanish population consumes more often with this program. In addition, the growing increase of these spaces has meant that there are statistically significant differences. The findings show the lack of quality information in the tabloid-type programs, becoming an important issue for scientific studies, justifying the lack of codes of ethics that support and encourage a quality television.
