Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The proposal explains that RTVE works with the ADO and ADOP programs, which fund athletes' preparation for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. For that reason, it proposes changing Article 7 of Law 8/2009, which governs RTVE's revenue.
  2. The bill would allow RTVE to broadcast ads and communications for nonprofit organizations and their sponsors, as long as they fall under the Olympic (ADO) and Paralympic (ADOP) sports programs. The condition is that RTVE earns no money from it.
  3. If RTVE did receive revenue from those broadcasts, it would be deducted from the compensation it gets from the State for its public service obligations.
  4. The law would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette (Boletín Oficial del Estado). Measures that increase spending or reduce revenue would wait until the next budget year.

Who it affects

  • RTVE: Could broadcast ads for nonprofits and their sponsors under the ADO and ADOP programs, without earning revenue from it.
  • Olympic and Paralympic athletes: Their training programs (ADO and ADOP) could get more exposure and support on RTVE.
  • Nonprofit organizations and their sponsors: Their public interest activities could be promoted on RTVE.
