Guatemalan television goes through three stages that start with the promotion of private commercial television and the annulment of public television, the proliferation of foreign content in programming and later, the digital transformation of communication with the consequent expansion of entertainment and changes in social communication. The present text reflects on the
particularities of programming and its contents, describes the effects of digitization in television
system and delves into the political and business influences in a technology framework of
multiplatform communication. The results achieved demonstrate the necessity to drive reforms in three ways, first regulate the usufructuary law of television channels and all related with Digital Terrestrial Television, improve the quality of national programming television and ensure the
Internet access an regulate its use.
