Abstract

Introduction. The digital impact on the audiovisual sector has transformed public television.
This is particularly relevant in Spain where, in December 2017, the number of mobile lines exceeded
51.5 million (Fundación Telefónica 2018), and where 86% of young people own a Smartphone, which
they use as a reference device for instant messaging (81.7%), access to social networks (77.5%), music
consumption (65.2%) and streaming videos (52.2) (We Are Social and Hootsuite, 2018).
Methodology: Taking into account this scenario, we have conducted a survey, with support from the
Qualtrics platform, to investigate three essential aspects: 1. Whether or not there is a correlation
between the use of a certain type of device with which television is watched and the degree of
satisfaction with public television; 2. What is the content of public television that most attracts young
audiences; 3. To what extent the contents of public televisions offered on social networks are followed,
if they are followed in a special way by young people. Results: The work collects and analyses the
results of this survey.
