Introducción: la televisión ha cambiado: la expansión de Internet ha fomentado el consumo online y, ante el auge de las plataformas, los canales tradicionales reaccionan creando sus propios sitios web, algunos específicos para la juventud. En concreto, RTVE dispone de RTVE Play, de contenido generalista y de Playz, orientado al público joven. Metodología: se ha realizado una encuesta que indaga acerca de la percepción que las personas entre 18 y 35 años en España tienen sobre RTVE Play y Playz. Resultados: los resultados arrojan un escaso conocimiento de Playz pero mayoritario de RTVE Play, así como una pobre identificación de la audiencia con ambas parrillas. Sin embargo, la calidad, la innovación y la diversidad de sus contenidos son apreciados de manera notable por la audiencia. Discusión: RTVE debiera fortalecer la promoción de sus plataformas en las redes sociales, medios de comunicación cotidianos para la juventud actual (Stollfuß, 2019); por otro lado, convendría impulsar la política innovadora del ente que le permita ser referencial y enriquecer, así, su aportación social (EBU, 2016). Conclusiones: se constata la desconexión entre la juventud y RTVE y sus plataformas online, a pesar de los esfuerzos del ente público en acercarse a este segmento de la población.
Public broadcasting media are facing the need to reconnect with the younger audience, who are moving away from traditional TV consumption in favour of over-the-top (OTT) content. In the case of public media, this is happening in a context that involves the need for revalidation and the necessity to face the worldwide services challenge imposed by the strong specialization of OTTs. In Spain, political instrumentalization and financial problems are adding pressure to the chronically fragile media. This article addresses the strategies of public broadcasters in reconnecting with younger audiences. It focuses on the online offering of Playz directed at the youth market. Using a case analysis research strategy, the results show the absence of a clear strategy for Playz. The findings also indicate the lack of a clear definition of public service goals, although the content is consistent with Public Service Media (PSM) expectations.
El consumo de televisión ha cambiado a causa de la generalización de Internet y la consecuente difusión de las plataformas online. La juventud abandera este cambio y crea comunidades de personas usuarias en torno a sus programas o canales preferidos. Este artículo pretende identificar las diferentes comunidades surgidas en Twitter e Instagram alrededor de tres plataformas destinadas al público joven en España creadas por los principales grupos de comunicación audiovisual (Playz, Flooxer y MTMAD). Para extraer estas comunidades se ha aplicado a las descripciones de los usuarios el algoritmo de identificación de temas mediante un proceso jerárquico Dirichlet (Wang, 2011). Los resultados muestran que las comunidades se agrupan en torno a profesiones (comunicación, enfermería) y a aficiones (música, fotografía, redes sociales). Además, Playz no consigue vincularse al público joven, algo que sí logran Flooxer y MTMAD.
Generally speaking, audio-visual consumption is changing. More specifically, in recent years young people have increased their viewing of content through the Internet, which is often supplied through online platforms. This article focuses on one the Playz platform, which is one of the key strategies being used by Spanish public television (RTVE), as it aims to reconnect with the new generations through transmedia narratives. Based on studies undertaken by Costa Sánchez (2013) and Cascajosa-Virino (2018), a content analysis of the series broadcast on Playz between 2017 and 2020 has been carried out, taking into account the duration, year of release, and number of episodes or seasons for each of them. This study confirms a clear interest by this platform in generating products that are innovative from their very conception. In fact, a large number of transmedia strategies have been identified, such as episodes turned into films, a high degree of interactivity with the audience, original music videos, promotional events and more, which is in line with Playz’s public service obligation to reach out to all types of audiences through all the platforms available to them.
