Abstract
Based on the data obtained from a scientific research on television offer quality of
Albanian Public Television (TVSH) conducted by the Department of Journalism and
Communication in the University of Tirana, and also based on in-depth analysis of
these data, it results that the application of new digital technologies in the Albanian
television industry has affected the formats of TV programmes, the relationships
between television and its audiences and has made possible the emergence of new
television channels with new professional and legal status. The spekter of new digital
technologies, which starts from the production stage and reaches the space of the web
and through internet appears on the small screens, has brought a radical change in the
TV content. These are transformations that reveal a new television context and have
changed not only the format of TV programmes, but also the TV programming itself,
the economic model embraced by broadcasting companies, the journalistic and other
skills needed in today’s television industry, etc.
As revealed by the research, Albanian Public Television (TVSH) is not adapted to
these transformations yet, and this is reflected in the audience perception on the qua-
lity of the television offer of TVSH as well as in the abandonment of its programs
and migration of the audience toward private broadcasters or to the Web TV content.
