The future of the European TV is hybrid, convergent and less public

Europe’s public service television is losing strength and influence in the communication policies of the second decade of the 21st century, in its own financing means, in the fight for audiences and in the broadcasting technologies against the new hybrid and convergent TV models led by the operators of cable, satellite and internet TV. To cope with the fragmentation of the audiences and the weakening of the traditional financing models (advertising, fees, subsidies), television companies concentrate their dissemination strategies in the scale and club economies through duopolies and integrated market platforms.
