La radio y la televisión local en el marco del sistema audiovisual aragonés

    Student thesis: Doctoral thesis

    Abstract

    The local radio and the television in the mark of the Aragonese audiovisual system is a thesis that is centered on the itemized analysis of the current situation of these two media in Aragon from a scientific point of view. The study of the programming of the different local operators is the main objective established. The work is based on the analysis of the audiovisual local communication in this region. Then, the first aspect that we approach was the definition of what we understand as local communication. About this term there are many authors who are contributing ideas at the present time, putting them in relation with the globalization that is suffering in all the environment and also in the communication. Finally, we have incorporated a definition of local communication that was centered in the combination of two variables: the covering environment and the contribution of contents of vicinity. Once we defined what understand as local media, we can now describe the evolution of the radio and the television in Aragon in function of two aspects: the historical and the legislative. This chapter allows to know the reason for the conformation of such a peculiar radio-television system as the aragonese. One of the aspects that is approached with more thoroughness is the failure of the setting up in march of the Public and Autonomous Radio and Television. In the theoretical mark that we have developed, we have designed an analysis methodology of contents with the purpose of studying, in an itemized way, the programming offered by the audiovisual local channels means. This method consists of the combination of five variables: large-contents (large thematic blocks), genre (form of transmission of the big-contents), contents (approached issues), issues (delimitation of the contents) and space environment (geographical area in which the contents are bound). In the practical experiment we divide the radio and the television into different types. As for the first one, we can see three different groups in function of their programming (the conventional with disconnection, the specialized, and the mixed one) and one in relation to their property (radio stations from the city councils). As to television, we only observe two models of networks: the conventional with disconnection and the local with programming of vicinity. In the conclusions, once validated the three hypotheses that we formulated at the beginning of the thesis, I would like to put forward with the sole purpose of improving the situation of the local communication in Aragon and it consists of creating a public media of radio and television dependent on the Autonomous Government, but it should be based on the alliance between public radio stations and the existing television networks. We should look for the implication of private companies.
