Abstract

In the last years it has been stated that the European media market is increasingly more concentrated. However, from the evidence showed in this article we can conclude that this perpection is wrong: radio and television have experienced a certain fragmentation during the last decade; the liberalisation of the legal framework and the new distribution systems have contributed to decrease the influence of the leading companies of each country. And with respect to the press, except in some cases, its concentration level is stable.
