Two Channels for the Documentary in Spain. Use and Sense of Gender in TVE (1958-1975)
Abstract
This research explains how the documentary programming of Televisión Española, in its two channels, was structured in the period from 1958 to 1975, with the advent of democracy. The main objective is to understand what this non-fiction genre meant in the TVE programming and what place it occupied in the television programming and in the History of Spanish Television. It has been analyzed all the preserved documentary contents -own and foreign production- are reviewed, series or film format, as well as their distribution by time slots and days of the week, and other variables that appear on the TVE grid in the period of this investigation. The analysis is carried out through an exploratory and descriptive study of the documentary genre for which a database has been prepared that includes the total of 6,835 documentary broadcasts. It is concluded that the existence of these slots responds to first and second grade documentaries that are distributed on the programming with importance on the television grid, or just in order to fill spaces in programming regardless of the origin or thematic of the documentary. This differentiation is marked in advance by the TV network, in what has been called, within this research, broadcast formats.
