¡HOLA, TELESPECTADORES Y TELEESPECTADORAS!Although in recent years social networks and streaming platforms have been capturing the attention of younger generations, television continues to be the traditional mass media most consumed by Spaniards. As in many other countries, in Spain, we have a wide variety of channels, both free and paid, aimed at satisfying the different sensibilities and interests of the population.
In this discussion topic, we want to share with you the most-watched free-to-air channels in the country. I am well aware that many of you don't watch much TV, but I advise you to do a bit of channel surfing from time to time to better understand our country and improve your language skills.
