8madrid TV

What 8madrid TV does

8madrid TV is a regional broadcast television channel serving the Community of Madrid, operated by TELEVISIÓN DIGITAL MADRID S.A. (a private Spanish public limited company, not listed on a stock exchange). Founded in 2006 and headquartered at Ciudad de la Imagen in Pozuelo de Alarcón, the channel positions itself as the dedicated cinema channel of the region, reaching an addressable audience of more than six million Madrid residents via linear DTT broadcast and a complementary live-stream feed on 8madrid.tv.

The channel's core offering is curated cinema — both Spanish and international — with a particular focus on carefully restored classic films delivered in high definition. The Filmoteca 8madrid programming block, restored in partnership with Cherrytowers (the restoration laboratory of Mercury Films), is the principal differentiator and includes digital cleaning, color correction, and sound remastering. Around this cinema spine, the channel packages original lifestyle and regional programs (El Escaparate, La Ciudad Es Para Ti, Cocina Familiar with Javier Romero, Próxima Parada, Casas de Autor), curated thematic cycles (Año Azcona, Las noches de RKO, Crónicas de un pueblo, Tiempos peores), and the occasional original miniseries (El corazón del océano, premiered July 2026). Content promotion is supported by an active multi-platform presence across Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Spotify, plus a blog and email newsletter.

8madrid TV monetizes almost exclusively through television advertising (sold via commercial director David Pérez) and sponsorship/promotional partnerships with regional entities such as ADI Sierra Oeste de Madrid. The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity; ownership details beyond the corporate entity are not in the public record. Headcount is in the 11–50 range, consistent with a lean regional broadcaster, and there is no evidence of external AI/ML systems, proprietary technology platforms, or enterprise integrations.
