Orígenes y desarrollo de las televisiones culturales en Europa. Una comparación entre la Segunda Cadena de TVE, BBC-2 y RTP-2 (1966-1975).

The apparition of the television’s second channels in the sixties caused a scenario in Europe with many differences, with roughly two main models: a liberal model, frequent in Northern Europe, and a Mediterranean model, in which televisions were more State-dependent. However, both models had common problems, such as attracting people’s interest about a more cultural programming. This research aims to show this situation through a comparative analysis between TVE’s Second Channel and BBC-2, paradigm for public service televisions, and the Portuguese RTP-2, also a public broadcaster from an authoritarian regime.
