Tv and Radio
In Catalunya you can pick up two national TV channels , TV1 and La 2, a couple of Catalan channels, TV3 and Canal 33, and the private Antena 3 and Tele 5 channels. In Barcelona you can also get Barcelona TV which is useful for information about local events. You'll inadvertently catch more TV than you expect sitting in bars and restaurants, and on the whole it's a fairly entertaining mixture of grim game shows, and tacky song and dance variety shows. Soaps are a particular speciality, both home-grown Catalan and Spanish culebrones and South American telenovelas , whereas locally-produced sitcoms and series compete with dubbed versions of North American favourites like Ally McBeal and E.R . Film programming is especially good, and many foreign films (and shows) are broadcast in dual (simultaneously in the original and dubbed). Sports fans are well catered for, with regular live coverage of basketball and football matches - in the football season, you can watch one or two live matches a week in most bars. If you have a radio which picks up short-wave you can tune into the BBC World Service, broadcasting in English for most of the day on frequencies between 12MHz (24m) and 4MHz (75m).
