Abstract

In the following research we analyze the television series of Spanish fiction, since this kind of show is special in television programming. Through this analysis, we can study the consequences the economic crisis in 2008 in Spain, had for the television industry, in general, and on the production of dramas, in particular. The aging of the, the failure of pay-tv in Spain, the predominance of the duopoly of two private companies, the financial cuts in investment, the suffocation of public television stations, are some of these implications of the crisis. All this has provoked a big regression of the quality in the offer of contents of television programs and also the consumption habits of TV viewers in this country.
