Resumen
[Abstract] Following the global financial crisis of 2007/2008, five European countries called for external financial assistance. Austerity policies were implemented, but the extent to
which the bailout deal impacted the Portuguese and Spanish public service broadcasters
has not been yet thoroughly investigated. Both born in dictatorial regimes, these public
service broadcasters in democratic contexts followed different solutions for governance
and funding. This article investigates the changes produced in the Portuguese and Spanish
public media under the austerity era, analysing the policy measures implemented, as well
as the economic and ratings performance of both public service broadcasters. The aim is
to assess if external factors (such as external assistance) originated similar effects in both
countries. Results show that, in spite of different funding and governance models
adopted, both public services were heavily impacted in terms of revenues and ratings
and that the austerity period provided the context to set up a neoliberal ideological
point-of-view. Both public services lost legitimacy and their cultural and political role was
undermined by a discussion that was grounded on economic factors alone.
