Current condition of audiovisual collections and web-access of major television stations of the Republic of Ecuador

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the television-audiovisual archives of Ecuador’s leading audiovisual chains, as measured by viewership and geographic coverage. This work is performed according to an “ad hoc” model, with a total of 110 indicators grouped into nine sections, as follows: identification, content, service policies, human resources, physical spaces, software, accessibility, documentary description and conservation. The study sample includes Ecuador TV, Ecuavisa, Teleamazonas, Gama TV and TC. Results reveal that these media outlets have devoted only scant resources to web-based broadcasting.
