Abstract

Fan communities are increasingly important to television fiction series. The department of time television series (TVE) is examined in relation to this trend, with a focus on social networks. A sample of approximately 3,600 people calling themselves "ministerics" participated in the study. The analysis is carried out in the context of the convergence of media and transmedia, where the Net exerts particular influence on their program strategies and their contents, an it is focused to the production and promotion of audiovisual creations aimed at a general audience. This research is of special interest within the field of fan studies because it confirms the intensity and diversity of fans and shows the relevance that it has in national television, particularly in public television.
