Diaper Punishment Well Padded

private model production of audiovisual programs in RTVE

The legislative history of RTVE funding set by law 4 / 1980, of the Statute Radio and Television established in Article 32 that the economic resources for the production and broadcasting of programs were government subsidies and marketing of advertising. The de facto model imposed by successive governments put aside subsidies in a time of monopoly advertising allowed to live and maintain a large factory lubricated with copious. With the emergence of private competition, sharing the advertising pie prevents enough commercial revenue to RTVE, then opted instead to recover the primordial mechanism for borrowing. In 2005, the public entity RTVE's debt reached exorbitant fees, together with the pressing economic problem is end up with a model of public broadcasting service of the incumbent government strongly criticized. The report of the "Council of Wise Men", commissioned by the Prime Minister, leads to the law 17/2006 of radio and state-owned television, which is created by the new corporation immediately SEPI (Sociedad Estatal Industrial Holdings of which depended on the Public Entity RTVE), the direction of RTVE and unions Intercentros General Committee members agree on a document for the creation of the new corporation is a significant reduction of its workforce and among other things, the delimitation a land of 8200 production hours programs at the alarming drop in domestic production and the continual arrival of outsiders. Finally, the law 8 / 2009 ends with mixed funding and limit the sources of income and freeze the operating budget of the new corporation. So

very pronounced in the last three years, there is a privatization of the program was not producing news and business groups, which in some cases competing directly with RTVE by audiences. This practice is in fact a privatization of the program, in violation of the Mandate-Marco developed in programming and production the provisions of Law 17/2006, radio and state-owned television, mainly with regard to production rates established itself as the issuance and gender, and full employment of domestic resources to commission its own production to third parties.

We first demonstrate that the resources available for RTVE production are not fully exploited, much less, as evidenced by the following study we have made the occupation of the television studios of the Directorate of Technical Means TVE Madrid, dedicated to non-informative programs.

own internal production Clan TV is virtually non-existent, mainly due to the inability of TVE to produce entertainment programs and the lack of news programming, cultural or educational children and adolescents.

Currently we have a program without advertising and, therefore, a new relationship with the market and audiences. With this new landscape in an economic crisis, we can cross off the existing unsustainable, but old production model based on high production costs as a competitive, based on the Star-system, the big producers and the abandonment of domestic production to the additional costs involved.

All these data confirm the apparent externalization of the production of programs broadcast by TVE and the low occupancy of domestic remedies.

Although human RTVE successive cuts still has a large production capacity. RTVE has excellent technical and human resources to good use would prevent cost overruns for its non-use. RTVE makes an ineffective and inefficient management of own resources by poor planning and lack of rules and procedures, all detected by different audits of finances, and also defendants in the law.

Therefore, should be a balance between domestic production and acquisition of programs and allowances, under the provisions of the Mandate-Framework for RTVE, avoiding inconsistent management criteria and subject to market and issuing policies and shortsighted to production not having a strategic plan of the Corporation pending. Today still signed the first Contract Programme RTVE should subscribe to the Government to fix the public in a three-year service. Nor have set the basic criteria of internal self-production that should govern RTVE. All this creates a picture of poor planning and organization as the national report state auditor.
