Tele 7

Tele 7 is a Basque local media outlet that broadcasts from Barakaldo (Biscay, Basque Country, Spain) and reports on the Left Bank (Margen Izquierda), Right Bank (Margen Derecha), Mining Zone (Zona Minera) and the wider province of Biscay. It operates a television channel, a radio station known as Radio 7, and a news website at tele7.tv that publishes breaking news and offers catch-up viewing of its programmes. The outlet's editorial focus is hyperlocal: its website is organised into sections covering Barakaldo, Sestao, Santurtzi and Portugalete on the Left Bank; Erandio, Leioa and Getxo on the Right Bank; Trapagaran, Ortuella, Muskiz, Abanto y Ciérvana and Ciérvana in the Mining Zone; and Bilbao for the rest of Biscay. Sports coverage includes a dedicated section with last-minute news, 'Nuestro Fútbol', live sports broadcasts and radio talk shows. Tele 7's daily programming includes shows such as Objetivo Bizkaia, Palabras Mayores, Informativos, Crónica Semanal, Nuestro fútbol and Temas de Actualidad. The channel is free to air and can be received via analogue television and DTT (channels 31 and 48 in Bilbao and channel 26 in Cantabria), as well as through the Euskaltel cable platform on channel 993 across Biscay and channels 917 in Gipuzkoa and Álava. A large share of its revenue comes from advertising, with spot prices ranging from around €81 to €606 depending on duration and time slot. The outlet also produces fact-checking and verification content, including the 'Agur Fakes' series, which examines viral claims circulating on social media. In 2020 the number of users of its website grew by 185%, registering close to three and a half million visits, an increase of more than 334% compared with the previous year, while visits and followers across its social media accounts also grew significantly. Tele 7 is a private, locally focused media brand rather than a national broadcaster. Its management team includes General Manager Javier Pikaza López, Commercial Director Txema Parra Villamañán, News Chief Yolanda Alicia González and Sports Chief Francisco José Prieto García.

Tele 7 is a Basque local media outlet that broadcasts from Barakaldo in the province of Biscay (Bizkaia), within the autonomous community of the Basque Country in northern Spain. It was established to serve the densely populated industrial and residential communities along the left bank of the Nervión estuary and the surrounding areas, and it has grown into a multi-platform local media brand combining television, radio and digital publishing. The outlet operates a television channel and a radio station called Radio 7, and it maintains a news website at tele7.tv. Its editorial coverage is organised geographically around the areas it serves: the Left Bank (Margen Izquierda), including Barakaldo, Sestao, Santurtzi and Portugalete; the Right Bank (Margen Derecha), including Erandio, Leioa and Getxo; the Mining Zone (Zona Minera), including Trapagaran, Ortuella, Muskiz, Abanto y Ciérvana and Ciérvana; and the wider province of Biscay, with Bilbao as its main reference point. Over time Tele 7 has built a daily programming schedule that includes news bulletins and current-affairs shows such as Objetivo Bizkaia, Palabras Mayores, Informativos, Crónica Semanal, Nuestro fútbol and Temas de Actualidad. Sports coverage is a significant part of its output, with a dedicated section offering last-minute news, the 'Nuestro Fútbol' programme, live sports broadcasts and radio talk shows. The website also allows viewers to watch the television channel and listen to the radio station live, and to catch up on programmes broadcast during the week. The channel is free to air. It can be received via analogue television and digital terrestrial television (DTT) on channels 31 and 48 in Bilbao and channel 26 in Cantabria, and through the Euskaltel cable platform on channel 993 across Biscay and channel 917 in Gipuzkoa and Álava. A large part of its revenue comes from advertising, with the price of airing a spot on its television channel ranging from approximately €81 to €606 depending on the length of the advertisement and the time slot chosen. In 2020 the number of users of its website increased by 185%, registering close to three and a half million visits — an increase of more than 334% compared with the previous year. Visits and followers across all of Tele 7's social media accounts also increased significantly during that period. The outlet has also developed fact-checking content, including the 'Agur Fakes' series, which examines viral claims and misinformation circulating on social media and in the press. Tele 7 is a private, locally focused media brand rather than a national broadcaster. Its management team includes General Manager Javier Pikaza López, Commercial Director Txema Parra Villamañán, News Chief Yolanda Alicia González and Sports Chief Francisco José Prieto García.
