’s late show
on La Sexta
(Channel 6). He substituted Buenafuente as host of the show during Summer
2008 (Buenafuente ha salido un momento), and resigned for the next season as sub-director of the programme. Later he got the chance to run his own prime-time weekly show (El programa de Berto) on the same channel, but the programme was cancelled after three weeks due to poor rating results.
Since 2007, he works in the late night show "Buenafuente", first sporadically when the show was still on Antena 3 (where he sang some songs such as "Tunéame Doctor Juan", along with Iván Rodríguez "El lagarto" on guitar) and later on, when Buenafuente got signed up by LaSexta, as a main contributor and scriptwriter. He owned a section called "Bertovisión", where he would analyze all media, specially, written articles and where he would also comment the pictures, substituted later on for a news section, along with Andreu Buenafuente
. Furthermore, he also participated in "Bertomansión", a project where the viewers would send whatever they did not want or used anymore so he could built a home. Later on, some comedy sketches would take place here. Unlike his radio and theatre appearances, his TV appearances have always been solo.
Taking advantage of his appearances on the media, in April 2008 he edited his first book along with Xavi Tribó, "Cero estrellas" ("Zero Stars"), starring a hypothetical critic, Antonín Fajardo, a character born in a radio collaboration on the show "La taverna del llop" in Ràdio 4. [3]
During the summer of 2008, the channel LaSexta decided that he would be in charge of hosting the show Buenafuente during the holidays of Andreu Buenafuente
, giving him that way more responsibility as vicedirector on the show. During this period, the show was broadcast under the name "Buenafuente ha salido un momento" (Buenafuente will be right back), where he had some sections such as "Rompe el hielo con Berto" (Break the ice with Berto).
On March 15, 2009, he made his debut as the host of his own talk show, "El programa de Berto", produced by El Terrat. Nevertheless, the programme was suspended after only three shows, since the share was of 3.8%, a number way lower than the average of the channel (6.7% as of March 2009).[4]
On April 22, 2009, he participated briefly on the sketch "El caso del eslabón perdido" in the show Muchachada Nui.
During the season 2009/2010, he started collaborating for the magazine Divendres, broadcast by TV3, a job he combined with his role in Buenafuente.[5]
On October 27, 2009, the TV show "Zombis" aired on the YouTube channel of El Terrat, starring Berto Romero and Rafel Barceló, scriptwriter for Buenafuente. The show only counts on one season of 9 episodes and since January 28, 2011, it is broadcast by TNT (Spain).
In New Year's Eve 2009, he hosted, along with Ana Morgade, the New Year's Eve Celebration of LaSexta, entitled "Cómo superar el Fin de Año" (How to get over New Year's Eve).[6] In New Year's Eve 2010, they were again hosts of "El 2011 con Berto y Ana" (2011 with Berto and Ana).[7]
