What Badalona Comunicació does

Badalona Comunicació, S.A. is a 100% municipally-owned public media company (empresa pública) established under the umbrella of Ajuntament de Badalona. The company operates an integrated local media group consisting of Televisió de Badalona (a local television broadcasting service), Ràdio Ciutat de Badalona (a public radio station broadcasting since 1981), and the bdncom.cat digital news portal. Content spans local news, regional current affairs, cultural programming, community information, sports coverage, and public service announcements, distributed via broadcast TV, FM radio, the bdncom.cat website, live streaming, on-demand services, and social media platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter). The organization also produces the annual FILMETS Badalona Film Festival, an international short film competition used as a community engagement vehicle. All media operations share an integrated newsroom with multi-skilled journalists and technicians serving television, radio, and digital simultaneously.

The technology stack relies on conventional local broadcast infrastructure (TV channel, FM radio frequency), a digital content management system for the bdncom.cat portal, and Watchity CDN for video content delivery. The company has 55 employees and is headquartered at Sant Agustí, 11 in Badalona (Barcelona), Spain. Coverage focuses on Badalona and the surrounding Barcelonès Nord subregion, including Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Sant Adrià del Besòs, Montgat, and Tiana — a five-municipality area where the company is the only dedicated local audiovisual operator.

The business model is principally funded by municipal allocations from Ajuntament de Badalona in fulfillment of its public service media mandate, with a secondary revenue stream from advertising sales to local businesses through television, radio, and digital channels. No private equity, venture capital, or external institutional investment is disclosed. The company is registered as a public limited company (sociedad anónima) in Spain under NIF A08808461. There is no management team information, no identified key executives, and no disclosed revenue figure in the source data.
