Examen del estado regulatorio y de negocios de la televisión pública valenciana: retos próximos

Con ocasión del primer aniversario tras 'el cierre de la Televisión Pública Valenciana' (29-11-2013), que venía emitiendo sus contenidos desde el 9 octubre 1989, tal vez sea un buen momento para realizar un sucinto examen sobre la situación en la que se encuentra la televisión pública en la Comunitat Valenciana. Un análisis que aborde las nuevas propuestas de televisión pública de lo que sin duda constituye no sólo un servicio público, sino más bien puede suponer un serio negocio; la situación actual del sector desde un punto de vista regulatorio y los elementos más destacados del horizonte inmediato por el que se dirige este medio de comunicación.On the occasion of the first anniversary following "the closure of the Valencian Public Broadcaster" (29-11-2013), which had been operating since the 9th October, 1989, it may be a good time to make a brief review of the current state of the public television in the Valencian Community. The aim is to analyse the proposed new public television system, which far from being simply a public service could also be thought to constitute serious business; and examine the current situation of the industry from a regulatory point of view as well as the most remarkable aspects of the new path which is followin

La financiación del servicio público de televisión a través de la publicidad: la falta de previsión estatal frente a la autonómica

En el presente trabajo analizaremos como desde la Unión Europea se prevé un sistema para la financiación de las televisiones públicas que deberán seguir los Estados miembros y como de forma paulatina han ido aplicando estas políticas, con especial referencia al caso español. En este sentido, destacaremos la figura de la publicidad, como una vía de financiación de la televisión pública autonómica, y que pese a su tradición jurídica, la televisión pública estatal ha desistido de la misma. Así pues, nos ocuparemos de las consecuencias jurídicas que esta decisión ha supuesto y si la misma se adecúa a la regulación europea.The aim of this paper will look at as a system of financing of public television channels in Member States is expected from the European Union and how gradually have been applying these policies, with particular reference to the spanish case. In this sense, we will highlight the figure of advertising, as a way of funding of the regional public television, and that despite their legal tradition, the State public television has withdrawn it. So, we will deal with the legal consequences that this decision has meant and if it fits the European regulation

Cyril Scott, Segovia and the Sonatina for Guitar

Cyril Scott's guitar Sonatina, composed for Andres Segovia in 1927, was regarded for many decades as a lost work. Following its incomplete premiere in 1928, it disappeared from Segovia’s repertoire, remaining unpublished, unrecorded, and unavailable to other guitarists. The manuscript was thought to have perished, and the work acquired almost legendary status in the guitar world. The recovery of the manuscript in May 2001 confirms the Sonatina’s significance as a major break from the overtly Hispanic and folkloristically inspired pieces that dominate the pre-World War II repertoire of modern guitar music. The author’s researches into Segovia’s reception in Paris and London in the mid-1920s, and into other ‘lost’ works composed for Segovia at this time, provide a context in which the story of Scott's piece is unfolded and its significance assessed
