TV-DX TV3 Catalunya - Testcard, opening, preview and news 06.05.1984

Channel E44
Transmitter Barcelona
One of the first recordings of TV3 Catalunya. Unfortunately it was recorded in Barcelona with a defective video recorder, so the head drum servo is out of sync. But the recording is rare for that ...

[@jatsefos]

For those interested in the songs that appear in this recording: 0:00-2:18 Orquestra Plateria - “Fuego bombero! (Se quema la trocha)” (“Fuego”, 1982) 3:57-4:19 Paul Mauriat - “Blue Sticks For a Raimbow” (“Chromatic”, 1980), also used by TVE

Thanks mate, exactly what I wanted to know.

[@PoopTVYTP]

I admire the Catalan languge, It's like a mix between Spanish and French

[@eluruguayo2019]

And Italian

[@DonkeykongSw2]

It's the language that makes me know how to pronounce several French words.

[@radionoakmont7756]

love that music at the beginning sounds festive and happy i like it

[@DoctorLemon]

Light Spanish music with an anti-smoking message.

[@zxarchi]

The music sounds very nice Edit: This channel (and other Spanish TV stations at the time) are smart at pumping out their content for peak audiences.

[@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977]

What do you mean?

[@DonkeykongSw2]

TV3 Catalonia = Fuji TV of Spain anime-wise. (Because the whole Dragon Ball franchise, Arale and several Fuji TV animes were also aired on this channel).

[@chemapoblador8368]

Most Spanish regional TV broadcasters did broadcast lots of anime, starting at the 80s and reaching a peak throughout the 90s and 00s

[@uritsww]

This is from the first days of regular broadcasts of TV3 Catalonia?

[@AntarcticaTelevision]

TV3's launch transmission was on 10/9/1983, and first regular transmission was on 16/1/1984.

[@HafizIzzudin]

Dang, they start broadcast late at night, lol.

[@muhammadrafiuddinbinmohmme6078]

It's Spanish culture. Lateness is part of their tradition. People work from 9:00am to 2:00pm and 5:00pm until 8:00pm, so it's a little different compared to some countries, but it remains unique to Spain, and some countries. Prime time in Spain begins at around 9:00pm for most TV channels and concludes at around 2:00am in the morning, and that's where high viewership are expected. Even from 2:00pm to 5:00pm is also considered second prime time as most channels air popular shows and lunchtime news bulletins (2:30pm or 3:00pm). It's somewhat equivalent for any other country, with a slight difference.

[@DonkeykongSw2]

@@muhammadrafiuddinbinmohmme6078 I remember reading from somewhere that even their dinner starts at super late time (for us) like 9 or 10 P.M. Their lateness is even later than ours (Thai).

3:55 was also used as program schedule theme of TVE1 in 1985-1986.

[@danielvojtik6331]

Dallas was aired with Spanish or Catalan dublajr-dubbing?

[@YeOldeFootballChannel]

In Catalan.

[@juanpablofernandezrauchtvr9256]

What's the name of the song at 0:16

[@jatsefos]

“Fuego bombero! (Se quema la trocha)” by the Orquestra Plateria, from their 1982 album “Fuego”.

It's not Spanish, what language is that?

[@HafizIzzudin]

Catalan.

[@muhammadrafiuddinbinmohmme6078]

They also use Spanish whenever an interviewer interviews in Spanish, undubbed, due to many Catalan speakers do understand Spanish.

[@DonkeykongSw2]

@@muhammadrafiuddinbinmohmme6078 They both base on Latin language, their words share similarities enough to be understandable by both people (also Portuguese, Italians, French and Romanians).

Sometimes even no one changes languages because we understand each other talking in our languages.

@alexi14 nobody asked you to care

It s not spanish.

[@accordiongaming5277]

This was Catalonia. Their main language was Catalan

[@cserranoweb]

@@accordiongaming5277 The main language of TV3, you mean. The main language in Catalonia is Spanish, as it is the mother tongue of most catalans.

[@eddief32]

@@cserranoweb Both languages are classed as official languages of Cataluña, but the primary language in Cataluña is Catalan, as it is in the Balearic Islands and part of Valencia.

[@cserranoweb]

@@eddief32 You're completely wront. There is no such thing as "primary language". What do you mean? The one that you like the most? There are only official languages, and both Catalan and Spanish are official in Catalonia. And Spanish is more spoken in Catalonia than Catalan itself. For me, this makes Spanish primary if one has to have that condition.

[@eddief32]

When I refer to the primary language, I'm talking about the language used by local government, education, broadcasters, news organisations, etc. Which, in Catalonia, is Catalan. The most spoken language on the street, is still Spanish, but Catalan is still the majority form used to communicate with those in Catalan speaking areas.
