The presence of the Catalan language in digital media has expanded across various audiovisual formats. On streaming platforms, catalogs have grown by 77% over the last four years, supported by government subsidies for dubbing and subtitling, as well as distribution agreements involving the Catalan public television corporation, 3Cat.

In the podcasting sector, data from 2016 to 2025 indicates a decade of significant expansion. The number of active podcasts rose from 26 in 2016 to a peak of 479 in 2024. While 2025 has seen a slight contraction in activity compared to the record-breaking 2024, production levels remain substantially higher than at the beginning of the decade.
