From Shared Screens to the Digital Archive: A Careful Timeline of Spanish Television, 1970-2009
Television also preserved entertainment formats that now provide routes into the past. RTVE identifies Galas del sábado as a variety programme broadcast from 1968 to 1970, directed by Fernando García de la Vega and presented by Joaquín Prat and Laura Valenzuela. Its archival presence shows that television history is not only the history of news or technology. Genres, credits, presenters and later access to broadcasts are audiovisual heritage too.
The Archive as a Gateway to Spanish Television from 1970 to 2000
RTVE’s archive supplies examples close to the beginning of the period. Its general archive page describes Galas del sábado as a variety programme broadcast by TVE between 1968 and 1970, directed by Fernando García de la Vega and presented by Joaquín Prat and Laura Valenzuela. The same page mentions a children’s programme hosted by the “payasos de la tele” during the 1970s, with later editions up to 1995. These are useful archive references, but a small sample cannot stand for the whole of television scheduling.
