CIRCOM Regional gives its support to the audiovisual public service in the Valencian Community
Cavtat, November 16th 2013
CIRCOM Regional represents 255 TV stations from 32 countries across Europe. At its Board meeting in Cavtat (Croatia) today, it noted with regret the announcement of the closure of the autonomous public service broad-caster of the Valencian Community (Spain).
CIRCOM Regional believes that regional or autonomous broadcasters are unique suppliers of independent content to their audiences and they showcase local culture, economic development while enhancing identity and language usage. They also are a means for spreading the current digital transformation to the regions.
This is why CIRCOM Regional wishes that a sustainable solution can be found for the citizens of the Valencian Community to keep receiving their audiovisual media public service, and offers its knowledge and expertise, gathered during 30 years of existence, in case it can be helpful for this purpose.
