THE TELEVISION THAT SHOWS
CATALONIA TO THE WORLD
Televisió
de Catalunya broadcasts far beyond Catalonia. Thanks to digital
technology and communication satellites its broadcasts are able
to reach as far as Europe and America.
In addition to TV3 and Canal 33, TVC's two
digital channels, TVC Sat and TVC International, give the world
a window on Catalonia, and a fascinating insight into the
Catalan language and its culture. At the same time, it provides
daily broadcasts to Catalans living abroad. Satellite
broadcasting has allowed Catalonia to project itself on the
world stage.
TVC
Sat broadcasts to all of Spain, distributed on Via
Digital pay television and transmitted by Hispasat, offering 18
hours of daily broadcasting.
TVC
International broadcasts to Europe and America on open,
digital television via Astra, offering 24 hours of daily
broadcasting.
But Televisió de Catalunya's technological innovation does not
stop here.
It is now carrying out ongoing trial
broadcasts in Terrestrial Digital television. Testing is being
done in collaboration with the Information
Telecommunications and Technology Center of the Generalitat de
Catalunya in order to take the lead in full digital
terrestrial TV broadcasting. This is why TVC also works closely
with manufacturers of digital television receivers, official
organizations and training-research centers and plays an active
role in the regulation and introduction of this state-of-the-art
technology.
Televisió de Catalunya is thus a driving force in innovative
communication technology and insures that the country keeps
abreast of the latest advances. |
