Spanish study finds TV and streaming platforms coexist through collaboration
A University of Alicante study published in Communication & Society analyzed fiction series released in Spain between 2020 and 2024.
Linear TV remains relevant
The research concludes that video-on-demand services have not replaced traditional television broadcasting. Instead, the two distribution systems are establishing new methods for sharing content together.
Content release strategies vary
Researchers assessed 325 serialized titles including fiction, miniseries, and documentaries within the Spanish market. While full season drops remain common, some series followed weekly schedules or hybrid models.
Collaboration defines the future
The eight leading digital platforms operate alongside linear television rather than displacing it entirely. This dynamic creates joint ventures and circulation patterns that benefit both sectors.
