The subject matter is focused on two of the main TV channels of Atresmedia media group: Antena 3 and La Sexta. Using a methodology which combines quantitative and qualitative techniques of analysis, the role of this innovative tool within the information narrative has been studied, as well as its integration with the virtual scenography of the set –presenter, concave screen, reflective floor– and the different shapes and functions it takes. The data obtained has allowed confirming the existence of common patterns and several differences in the application of RA in the television-information discourse during both election periods.
