Statute overview

About this statute

The provision requires information to be provided about television programming: at least the title and the type or genre of all programs expected to be broadcast, except programs shorter than fifteen minutes. Media-service providers in the Comunitat Valenciana must broadcast certain public-interest communications from the Spanish Government or the Valencian Government, free of charge and with source noted, and make them accessible with subtitles, audio description, and sign language. TV operators in scope must reserve 20% of annual broadcast time for Valencian audiovisual and film works. Television operators must reserve at least 10% of their total airtime for Valencian works by independent producers, and more than half of those works must have been produced in the last five years. For earlier articles in this chapter, certain content is not counted as broadcast time; for bundled paid TV services, the cited rules apply to total broadcast time.
