If you’ve spent any time in Catalonia or flipped through TV3, you’ve likely crossed paths with Tot es mou (which translates to “Everything is Moving”). It is the quintessential daily magazine show of Catalan public television—a mix of hard news, social commentary, and lighthearted lifestyle segments.
Tot es mou is the Swiss Army knife of their programming: it’s designed to keep the conversation going throughout the day.
Host Helena Garcia Melero is a veteran journalist who is essentially the First Lady of Catalan TV. She’s known for her poise, though she’s also had some legendary viral moments (like the time a viewer called in to explain a recipe and it turned out to be her own mother).
The show is divided into distinct “blocks” to make sure there’s something for everyone. It successfully balances being a serious news source with being “background company” for people at home.
Current Affairs & Politics: Since it’s TV3, politics is never far away. The first half of the show usually features a “taula d’actualitat” (current affairs table) where journalists and experts dissect the latest headlines from Barcelona, Madrid, and the rest of the world.
Social Issues & Trends: They cover everything from climate change and health to the latest viral TikTok trends. It’s very grounded in Catalan daily life—if there’s a strike in the metro or a new festival in a small village, they’re talking about it.
Entertainment & Culture: This is where the show lightens up. You’ll find cooking segments, often featuring local chefs and seasonal Catalan products, interviews with actors, musicians, and writers and fashion and lifestyle tips.
