Hispanic American Catholic Networks: Survey 2023

Guillermo Ares, Gabriel Palermo

Rosario: Buena Nueva Comunicación (BNC) (2024), 26 pp.

"This survey aims to provide valuable information for the creation of potential initiatives and policies that promote, foster cooperation, and offer support to Catholic networks in Hispanic America. At BNC, we leverage our longstanding relationships with the personnel of these networks and the effec ... tive mechanisms of communication and fraternal dialogue we have established with them. This allows us to speak confidently and responsibly about the information we have collected. Building upon our initial study conducted years ago [= 2013], we have chosen to maintain the same approach in terms of the topics to be evaluated and the questionnaire used. The survey is designed to collect quantifiable data to help us identify variables and trends in the ongoing operation and development of these networks over time [...] We would like to thank everyone at the 39 networks from 13 different countries who took the time and courtesy to respond to our communications and take part in this survey [...] We present the reader with a brief overview of the data we consider important to provide a quick insight and general perspective based on the information collected through this survey: - The positioning of the mixed entity (private capital + ecclesiastical institution) as the legal form of networks ownership. - Seventy-six per cent of broadcasters claim to own the premises from which they operate. Small local private donations provide the main funding, followed by selling advertising or space to third parties. - Small local private donations provide the main funding, followed by selling advertising or space to third parties. - Twenty-six point forty-seven percent (26.47%) of networks broadcast for 12 hours, closely followed by those that broadcast continuously for 24 hours, representing 20.59%. - Forty-five point ninety-five percent (45.95%) of the surveyed network have between 1 and 4 studios. - The distribution of the number of cameras among the networks surveyed shows that the majority (30.77%) have 4 cameras. - When it comes to camera brands, Sony leads with 53.85% of the cameras used by networks. - The editing systems are mostly comprised of between 3 and 2 per network. - Most members of networks are between 26 and 45 years old, and the majority have been in their positions for over 5 years. - Salary payments, investment in infrastructure, satellite rental costs, and purchase of production equipment are the top priorities in terms of urgent material needs to be met. - 90.6% would like to receive some kind of training. - In terms of training, advice and information needs, raising funds through partnerships/donations, creating new content and programmes, and transmission technology are the top three training needs identified by broadcasters. - There is a need for a specific and specialised study in each network to assess both the potential and actual audience, as the methods currently used produce results that are far from conclusive at a professional level. - According to the estimated analyses carried out by networks, 78.1% of the audience is between 36 and 60 years old. Around 57% of the audience are Catholics, while 38% are from the general public. - Thirty-four percent of programming are networks' own productions. - Sixty percent of the content has a religious message, while 40 percent has a general message. - The purchase of third-party programming represents only 10% of the total broadcast programming. - The programming received as donations increased from 6% to 23% compared to the first statistical study. - Devotional content, followed by Church-related topics explored in documentaries, educational programs, interviews, mass events, etc., are the primary components of the programming. - There is a significant lack of content for young and child audiences. - Upgrading equipment for DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) presents both economic and technical challenges for broadcasters. - It's important to clearly delineate the boundaries between what is web TV and what is a streaming service, and to provide training on the different types of legal regulation regarding programming licenses in relation to cable and over-the-air TV."

Canales Católicos Hispanoamericanos: Encuesta 2023

Guillermo Ares, Gabriel Palermo

Rosario: Buena Nueva Comunicación (BNC) (2023), 26 pp.

"Esta encuesta se propone aportar información que sirva para generar posibles instancias y/o políticas de promoción, cooperación y apoyo en favor del trabajo de los canales católicos de Hispanoamérica, Desde BNC nos valemos de la relación de años que tenemos con el personal de los canales y ... de los mecanismos de comunicación y dialogo fraternal que hemos generado con ellos para hablar con confianza y responsabilidad sobre la información que hemos podido recopilar, también echamos mano del primer estudio que realizáramos años atrás [= 2013] y decidimos continuar con la misma idea en cuanto a tópicos para evaluar y el mismo sistema de preguntas que pretende relevar una serie de aspectos cuantificables con los que intentaremos encontrar variables y tendencias en la operación y desarrollo a través del tiempo de los canales [...] Agradecemos a todas las personas pertenecientes a los 39 canales de 13 diferentes países que se tomaron el tiempo y la gentileza de contestar nuestras comunicaciones y participar de esta encuesta [...] Presentamos al lector un acercamiento rapido a los datos que consideramos importantes para dar un vistazo rapido y obtener un panorama general a partir de la informacion recopilada por esta encuesta: - El posicionamiento de la Entidad mixta (capital privado + institucion de la Iglesia) como forma juridica de propiedad de los canales. - Un 76% de los canales afirma ser propietario del lugar desde donde se realizan las operaciones. - Las pequenas donaciones privadas locales se constituyen en la principal fuente de financiacion, seguido de la venta de publicidad o espacios a terceros. - La transmision por cable local, cable nacional y aire local son los principales tipos de transmision. - El 26.47% de los canales emiten a lo largo de 12 horas, seguido de cerca por aquellos que transmiten ininterrumpidamente durante 24 horas, representando el 20.59%. - El 45,95% de los canales encuestados cuentan con entre 1 y 4 estudios. - La distribucion de la cantidad de camaras entre los canales encuestados revela que la mayoria (30.77%) posee 4 camaras. - En cuanto a marcas de camara Sony lidera siendo el 53.85% de las camaras que usan los canales. - Los sistemas de edicion se componen en su mayoria por entre 3 y 2 por cada canal. - La mayoria de integrantes de los canales tiene entre 26 y 45 anos y mayoritariamente tienen mas de 5 anos de antiguedad en sus puestos de trabajo. - El pago de salarios, la inversion en la planta fisica del canal, los costos de alquiler de satelite y la compra de equipamiento de produccion se llevan los primeros lugares en cuanto a necesidades materiales urgentes por suplir. - Un 90.6% desea recibir algun tipo de formacion. - En cuanto a necesidades de formacion, asesoramiento e informacion, la obtencion de fondos por medio de socios / donaciones, la creacion de nuevos contenidos y programas y Tecnologia de transmision sean las tres primeras necesidades de formacion mencionadas por los canales. - Falta un estudio especializado puntual en cada canal para evaluar la audiencia potencial y real ya que los metodos empleados actualmente dan resultados que no son para nada concluyentes a nivel profesional. - Segun los analisis estimativos realizados por los canales el 78.1% de la audiencia tiene entre 36 a 60 anos. Aproximadamente el 57% de la audiencia esta constituido por catolicos, el 38% por publico general. - El 34% de los programas son produccion propia de los canales. - El contenido con mensaje religioso es del 60% y un 40% con mensaje general. - La compra de programacion a terceros representa solo el 10% de la programacion total emitida. - La programacion recibida a modo de donacion paso de ser del 6% al 23% en comparacion con el primer estudio estadistico. - El contenido devocional, seguido de temas de Iglesia desarrollados en documentales, programas de formacion, entrevistas, eventos masivos, etc. son los principales en la programacion de los canales. - Hay una muy marcada falta de contenido para audiencias jovenes e infantiles. - La actualizacion de equipos para el ingreso a la TDT supone un reto a nivel economico y tecnico para los canales. - Es importante marcar claramente las fronteras entre lo que es una web tv, un servicio de streaming y capacitar sobre los diferentes tipos de regulacion legal de las licencias de la programacion en relacion a los de tv por cable y aire."
