CCMA Backs Hybrid News Branding, Restoring TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio Identities From Nov. 3

Internal backlash prompted the change, leaving 3CatInfo as the umbrella brand, with practical rules on bylines and accreditations undecided.

Overview

  • From November 3, journalists will again close reports with the classic signature format naming TV3 or Catalunya Ràdio alongside their location.
  • Microphones will adopt a hybrid look that pairs the 3CatInfo cube with the traditional black (TV) and yellow (radio) foams displaying each outlet’s logo.
  • 3CatInfo remains the overarching news brand, and reporters on 24-hour channels, live hits and digital pieces will continue signing as name plus 3CatInfo.
  • Professional councils welcomed the shift after a manifesto signed by more than 700 current and former staff, while asking for clarity on exclusives, source attribution and workflow.
  • Management urges reporters to seek credentials under 3CatInfo and plans to boost TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio visibility at headquarters, as the branding dispute continues to draw political scrutiny in Parliament.
