| The new opportunities offered by DSL TV services to the audiovisual
content have allowed La Central Digital to design two thematic products: CANAL AUTOR and CANAL INFANCIA El
gato feliz. Both channels are a compilation of works available in La Central, following a TV programme planning
criteria whose aim is to position itself as an alternative against the strong supply of American channels that
is overwhelming the Pay-TV system in Spain.
A very important fact is that these channels allow to provide a business model for all the providers of
independent works that presently lack access to the TV programme planning of the Pay-TV thematic channels, especially
for such types of cinema and formats as short and animation films, which usually receive a very good acceptance
but cannot cross the barriers of conventional distribution.
