Abstract (English): This article analyzes the evolution of debate programs on Spanish Television (TVE) during the Spanish Transition (1975-1982), a crucial period when Spain was adapting to democracy after the Franco dictatorship. Debate programs underwent significant transformations, incorporating formats that promoted a diversity of opinions and improved moderation techniques. The presence of guests with multiple political orientations and the overcoming of Francoist censorship restrictions enabled the discussion of sensitive topics and the reconfiguration of historical narratives, thus contributing to the formation of a more critical and plural public opinion. The study methodology is notable for its exhaustive approach, using both primary and secondary sources including RTVE archive materials and hemerographic, corporate, and institutional sources. This emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to understand the social impact of these programs. Additionally, this work details the evolution of the programs through various stages, from more controlled initial formats to more dynamic and controversial debates that reflected a society and television network in transformation. These changes not only illustrated the adaptation of debate formats to an emerging democratic environment but also demonstrated how public television could actively influence the democratization process. Finally, the contribution of debate programs to Spanish democracy is assessed by how they provided a forum for public discussion and allowed the expression of a wide range of opinions and citizen participation, key factors in strengthening the social and civic fabric of the country.

Abstract (Spanish): Este artículo analiza la evolución de los programas de debate en Televisión Española (TVE) durante la Transición española (1975-1982), un periodo crucial en el que España se adaptaba a la democracia tras la dictadura franquista. Los programas de debate se transformaron significativamente, pues incorporaron formatos que promovían la diversidad de opiniones y técnicas de moderación mejoradas. La presencia de invitados con múltiples orientaciones políticas y la superación de las restricciones de censura franquista permitieron discutir temas sensibles y reconfigurar narrativas históricas, al tiempo que contribuían a formar una opinión pública más crítica y plural. La metodología de estudio destaca por utilizar tanto fuentes primarias como secundarias que incluyen materiales de archivo de RTVE y fuentes hemerográficas, corporativas e institucionales. Esto subraya la importancia de un enfoque comprehensivo para entender el impacto social de estos programas. Además, el presente trabajo desglosa la evolución de los programas en varias etapas, desde los formatos iniciales más controlados hasta debates más dinámicos y polémicos que reflejaban una sociedad y una televisión en transformación. Aquellos cambios no solo ilustraron la adaptación de los formatos de debate a un entorno democrático emergente, sino que también pusieron de manifiesto cómo la televisión pública pudo influir activamente en el proceso de democratización. Finalmente, la contribución de los programas de debate a la democracia española se evalúa en cómo facilitaron un foro para la discusión pública y permitieron la expresión de una amplia gama de opiniones y la participación ciudadana, factores fundamentales para fortalecer el tejido social y cívico del país.
