The Catalan Corporation of Audiovisual Media (CCMA) takes a bold step into the digital world by launching 3Cat for free, the Catalan answer to the largest streaming platforms.
In an initiative aimed at promoting the use of Catalan in the digital space, 3Cat is poised to become a streaming giant offering programs, series and podcasts.
The portal is being launched as an evolution of the TV3 application and is much more ambitious. It offers a wide range of content covering almost 280,000 hours in Catalan from the archive of the public broadcaster.
In addition, it is envisaged that in a second phase, 3Cat will become an on-demand streaming platform in the style of Netflix or HBO.
Free Netflix Catalan 3Cat: exclusive and diverse contents
On this platform, more than thirty exclusive products can be found, including programs, series and dating programs. Highlights include Andreu Buenafuente’s new program, ‘Vosaltres mateixos’, which marks the presenter’s return to TV3, and the reality show starring Laura Escanes, ‘La travessa’.
In addition, there are series such as ‘Això no és Suècia’ and ‘Jo mai mai’, dating programs such as ‘Love cost’ and a new edition of the successful program ‘Euforia Street Dance’. Also included are thematic news channels and programming for children (Super 3) and young people (EVA).
Free and universal access
What sets 3Cat apart is its goal of providing universal, free access to Catalan-language content in the world of digital streaming. The platform will host a wide range of content, from on-demand programs to live channels and vertical thematic channels.
Its catalog includes series, documentaries, movies, entertainment, podcasts, current affairs, sports and productions for children and young people. This includes not only new and exclusive content, but also gems from the past of Catalan production.
The objective of 3Cat is to act as a link between the agents of the audiovisual sector and to promote the production and distribution of content in Catalan. The platform not only becomes a source of content in Catalan for the audience, but also a springboard for Catalan audiovisual creators.
With an immense catalog of 280,000 hours of content in Catalan available to the public, 3Cat seeks to play an important role in promoting the Catalan language and culture in the digital world.
A leap to the digital forefront
To facilitate access, the platform is designed for users to register easily and free of charge. This initiative represents a step forward in the CCMA’s path to adapt its content to current consumption trends and audiovisual experiences.
The platform was born when finding content in Catalan on the main streaming platforms is a challenge.
