The European digitization and technological convergence process has served to deepen the crisis that all public broadcasters have been experiencing in Europe over the last 20 years. Yet, when the transition to digital broadcasting is discussed, this has mainly referred to the medium of television. Radio on the other hand, a medium with greater capillarity (in the sense of having deeper local roots and networks), has been dealing with its own crisis. This article outlines the main characteristics and problems of public service radio in Catalonia, arising from a study carried out on its structure and the programming it offers.
