Hi everyone! I'm studying English on my own and today I've written a report about the influence of English-speaking TV programmes televised in my country. Here is my report. Feel free to comment! English-speaking TV programmes’ influence in Spain Introduction The aim of this report is to comment on how English-speaking TV programmes have an effect on national culture and to give some recommendations to avoid the loss of the Spanish televisual production. The popularity of imported programmes It can be said that most shows televised on Spanish TV are from the United States and England, and not only the ones that are on TV but also digital platforms. Although national programmes are becoming more popular recently, the influence of the foreign ones is greatly evident, which can be accounted for their higher budgets resulted in more appreciated productions. Idolisation of American and British culture Since the development of digital TV, generations from the eighties have grown up by setting on a pedestal every American and British cultural cliché that is shown. As a consequence, we tend to look down on national culture and television. However, this has its advantage, as people are more interested in studying the English language for the purpose of getting closer to this countries’ cultures and watch TV programmes in their original voice. Recommendations I would recommend that the Spanish cultural department should subsidise national television companies to produce programmes of better quality, providing that these companies reflect the national culture in order to revalue it. Therefore, citizens would be more interested in Spanish TV programmes.
