10h30 Panel. OTTs on regional television. Adaptation and fusion for the present. CRTVG and EITB case.
With so many changes, television stations cannot be left behind and need to be in constant transformation. In this PRO Zone we want to analyze the main news from several public channels belonging to territories with their own language: CRTVG and EITB.
At the beginning of 2024, CRTVG presented AGalega, its OTT (that is, over the top). This implies the possibility of accessing numerous Galician and Galician language content through the Internet, to bring them closer to new generations and make them, in general, more accessible to all audiences, without depending on schedules or televisions.
For its part, EITB also launched PRIMERAN in the last half of last year, a multi-platform OTT that can be accessed from several devices and which aims to bring together Basque and Basque language content. Movies, series, documentaries, programs, children’s formats and all kinds of future developments will have a place in this initiative. Their philosophy? Guarantee content in Basque language, disseminate it and make it accessible to everyone.
There will be representatives from both media to analyze what these changes consist of, what they can contribute to citizens and what the next lines of work are.

12h30 Panel. Internet to explain the present through the past. Is nostalgia a guaranteed success? With Raquel Piñeiro, Juan Sanguino, Anxo F. Couceiro.
Nostalgia is one of the most powerful engines in cultural creation, especially when past eras are revisited to give it a new context or rescue historical events that have not had the fame they deserve. The generations they appeal to enjoy revisiting other moments in their lives, but young people also have fun discovering new references and stories to turn to. We are experiencing a resurgence of the 80s and 90s, and there are several analysts and content creators who bring the history of Spain from those years to the present day, through its popular culture.
Juan Sanguino. Journalist and writer. He has published four books, including the essays How We Have Changed and Press Me Stronger, and has written and presented the podcast Delirios de España. His articles can be found in El País, Vanity Fair and Jenesaispop, where he has covered the latest edition of OT.
