About TV in Andorra

Andorra's television landscape is one of the smallest in Europe, just two channels, both broadcasting in Catalan, the country's official language. This isn't a market built on competition; it's a public-service ecosystem. Andorra Televisió (ATV) is the main player, offering a mix of news, talk shows, sports, and cultural programming that reflects the country's unique identity, a Catalan-speaking microstate wedged between France and Spain. The second channel, ATV HD, is essentially the same feed in high definition. There's no commercial free-to-air network, no private news channel, and no local reality-show factory. Primetime news on ATV runs at 21:00, with a calm, straightforward bulletin that covers local politics (the Consell General sessions get serious airtime), ski resort conditions, and cross-border stories from nearby Catalonia and Occitanie. Imported series and films are dubbed into Catalan, a deliberate linguistic policy to support the language. Sports coverage leans heavily on winter sports: alpine skiing, snowboarding, and the occasional rugby match. Andorrans also have access to Spanish and French channels via satellite and terrestrial spillover, so ATV functions more as a beacon of local identity than a primary entertainment source. The result is a TV culture that's less about ratings and more about civic cohesion, a small window into a small country that prefers to speak its own language on air.
