Collection of signatures begins for ETB1 to demand a change
- Driven by the limited audience data provided by ETB1 in the confinement situation, a collection of signatures Change.org has been initiated to demand a change in the chain in Basque. In April, ETB1 had worse audiences in the Basque Autonomous Community than the Spanish television channel Trece Televisions (ETB).
According to those responsible for collecting signatures, the chain in Euskera had a close relationship with ETB1 from a young age, emphasizing that programming in Euskera was competitive and also Euskaldun. However, they consider that the current situation is “totally different”, “the public service that met the wishes and needs of the Basques has not been able to maintain that connection”.
In his view, the current ETB1 hearing - 1.2% share in April - is "regrettable" and this has been attributed to the poor programming of the chain. “Few programmes are able to catch the attention of viewers, and many of them, stuck in immobilism, are still on television every week. Without success, just by filling a space and a space, without giving any importance to the content. Sometimes it seems that the management has put aside the wager on our chain.”
According to the proponents of the initiative, ETB1 is underway “symbolically”, “almost as a decoration”. This situation has been contrasted with the evolution of vasco-speakers: “VI. As indicated in the Socio-linguistic Survey (page 7 in particular), in 1991 people aged 16 to 24 accounted for 22.5% of the Basque population. Today this percentage has reached 55.4%”. Faced with this situation, they have warned of the need to strengthen platforms such as à la carte EITB: “It should be of great importance for the future, adding new and more varied content, assuming that today’s TV is seen on mobiles, computers and various devices. Innovate or die.”
The promoters of the collection of signatures calling for the renewal of the public chain in Euskera have also talked about the unfolding. The Basque doublers who meet in Bieus have been on strike for more than a year and a half, as year after year the dubbing in Basque of films, series and cartoons has been reduced, thus worsening the working conditions of the professionals in the sector, as we counted in this report
Citizens can adhere to this request for ETB1 change via the web Change.org.

The news I read a few weeks ago prompted me to address this issue: ETB3’s decision not to extend Ene Kantak’s children’s program at ETB3 surprised me and I still do not understand it, being an orderly and appropriate program.
