Northern Catalonia saves Catalan language TV

Finally on March 28 Northern Catalonia received the first digital TV signal in Catalan language. Four channels will be received by the Catalan region nowadays included in the French state. It has been achieved after a long campaign from Northern Catalonia to do not lose the Southern Catalonia channels. It has been a great success because it has not lost the two channels but it wins two more.

The agreement has been reached by tha autonomous government of the South with the northern Catalonian authorities. A similar agreement has been reached in the Balearic Islands too but in València it has been impossible because Spanish unionists are opposited to receive other channels. They prefer to receive only Spanish ones. In spite of these the autonomous Catalonia receives Valencian channels and a big campaign is trying to collect half a milion signatures for a “TV without frontiers”.
