Betevé, stylized betevé, formerly called Barcelona Televisió, is a Spanish free-to-air television channel in the Catalan language, that is broadcast in Barcelona and Barcelonès, owned by the City Council of Barcelona.
==History== During the government of Pasqual Maragall, the municipal television system of Barcelona was launched, however, originally there were 10 different channels, one for each urban district of the city, on November 3, 1994, the city council decided to unify the ten channels into a single one called Barcelona Televisió with the aim of providing legal coverage to the local public television system, since the district television stations broadcast in an illegal situation as they did not have the respective official licenses. From its foundation it was decided that the channel would be broadcast in Catalan.
