Abstract
[Resumen] En el actual ecosistema mediático, uno de los principales pilares de las campañas de comunicación de los partidos políticos
se centra en la aparición de los líderes políticos en televisión. La presencia y exposición de los candidatos políticos en
este medio, a través de diferentes formatos informativos, de entretenimiento o de infoentretenimiento, suele atraer la
atención de gran parte de la ciudadanía, más allá de la duración de la propia campaña electoral. Los debates electorales
son uno de los hegemónicos formatos televisivos de carácter político que reúnen a un mayor número de espectadores
debido a las características particulares de los mismos. El interés de la audiencia por este tipo de formato, sin tradición
en el contexto español, ha sido notable durante los veintiséis años de retransmisiones. La evolución de la audiencia de
estos programas confirma el alto grado de atención que acaparan por parte de los espectadores españoles, al alcanzar
históricas cuotas de pantalla en las cadenas que los emitieron, uno de los indicadores cuantitativos unánimemente aceptados
en el estudio sobre audiencias. Sin embargo, la incorporación de nuevas pantallas y canales a los debates electorales
ha ampliado el tradicional escenario en el que solían desarrollarse. La actual experiencia televisiva multipantalla y
la participación de la audiencia a través de plataformas como las redes sociales suponen un reto para las estrategias de
comunicación de los partidos políticos y los canales de televisión, al igual que un desafío para la medición de este nuevo
público, significativamente más activo y generador de contenidos.
[Abstract] In the current media ecosystem, one of the main pillars of political party communication campaigns is focused on the appearance of political leaders on television. The presence and exposure of political candidates in this medium, across different informative formats, from entertainment to infotainment, draws the attention of a considerable section of citizens beyond the electoral campaign. The electoral debates are one of the most hegemonic television formats relating to politics, that brings together a large number of spectators. The interest of the Spanish audience in this type of format, without a historical tradition in Spain, has been remarkable to watch during the last twenty-six years of broadcasting. The evolution of the audience for these programs confirms a high level of interest by Spanish spectators and has reached historically high ratings for the networks broadcasting them, which is one of the quantitative indicators unanimously accepted as a standard in the study on audiences. However, the incorporation of new screens and channels into the electoral debates has widened the mainstream viewing scenario. The current multiscreen television experience and audience participation across platforms, such as social networks, represent a challenge for the communication strategies of political parties and television networks, as well as for measurement of this new audience, which is significantly more active, while also generating more content.
