Resum

The popularisation of science in Spanish television has historically relied on Spains public TV broadcaster, RTVE, and on regional channels, especially including Catalonias TV3. Although science still occupies only 1 % of the TV news broadcast time in Spain, cultural programmes, including those of informative nature, have been a constant in TVEs offering since its inception in 1956, mainly on the minority-audience channel La 2. Among these informative cultural TV programmes, Redes (Networks) is a unique phenomenon in terms of both its run length and its audience acceptance. Indeed, no other science popularisation programme has ever run so long without a break for 17 years and over 600 episodes. Despite changes of government, Redes has achieved a good balance between its level of quality and its communicative effectiveness. The Catalan science populariser Eduard Punset, in particular, has achieved the unthinkable by making science popular in Spain.
