GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Telecom(munications) / Pay television
Spanish term or phrase: editar (editado, edición...)
From a pliego regarding competition in the pay TV sector

En cuanto a los canales editados por las majors y resto de canales de televisión de pago, cuyos derechos de emisión son comercializados en España sin exclusividades...

XXXXX adquiere los principales canales de televisión de pago editados y comercializados por YYYYYYY a nivel mayorista en España

Por otra parte, la operación también tiene efectos verticales sobre el mercado de edición y comercialización de canales de televisión de pago en España...



Clearly this is not the normal film sense of cutting/editing film (these are Pay TV channels, not producers, they don't edit anything), nor is it "publishing"

The only thing I can think of is that its being used as a synonym for emitir/emisión - broadcasting

compile (compiled, compilation)
Explanation:
The ST refers to companies who produce nothing and broadcast nothing.

The only thing they 'edit' is a programme schedule, filled with titles bought (or obtained free of charge in many cases...) from 'real' broadcasters and/or production companies, in the hope of attracting a sufficient number of paying subscribers to their 'pay TV' service to at least cover their costs.

Source: I've spent most of my adult live in 'real' broadcasting, and was formerly employed in the market stategy unit of a well-known international organisation active in the broadcast (and related) media scene.

Control/run


Explanation:
I am putting a low confidence level on this as nowhere can I find an example of 'editar' meaning to control but this seems to make most sense here . And if you edit a magazine, you run/control it.

ed•it /ˈɛdɪt/
v. [~ + object]
to supervise or direct the preparation of (a publication):
http://www.wordreference.com/definition/edit

As for the channels controlled/run by ...

XXXXX acquires the main pay television channels controlled and commercialized by YYYY

On the other hand, the operation also has vertical effects on the control and commercialization market of pay television channels in Spain.

agree  Sergio Kot: Broadcasted
10 mins
  -> Thanks, mamelushen. I intended to translate the first word asked, so really I should have suggested "to broadcast"
agree  Charles Davis: broadcasted is now widely accepted but broadcast (past tense and participle) is still clearly preferred esp. in British English. I think this is what it means, by analogy with editar in the sense of publish.
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Charles.
neutral  neilmac: This would be "canales emitidos" in Spain, although it could be a slip of the finger by the writer...
2 hrs
  -> Thanks, Neil. Apart from the link, in come dictionaries editar is translated with broadcast too. PS: Not quite sure which way round your discussion entry should be!
neutral  philgoddard: Surely you broadcast content, not channels? The channels are there anyway, and you operate them by filling them with programmes.//That's exactly what I'm saying!

  -> UK television channels broadcast nearly 2.5 million hours of programming in 2008. http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/market-data-research/market... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7613575.stm etc., etc
neutral  Robin Levey: No. These guys do not 'broadcast' anything, in the generally-accepted sense of the term.

format


Explanation:
formated
A TV format is the overall concept and branding of a copyrighted television program. The most common type of format are those in the television genre of game shows, many of which are remade in multiple markets with local contestants. Recent examples include Survivor, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Pop Idol and Big Brother that have all proved successful worldwide.

A format is licensed by TV networks, so that they may produce a version of the show tailored to their nationality and audience. Formats are a major part of the international television market. Format purchasing is popular with broadcasters, due principally to the lower risk associated with an already-proven idea and the preference of audiences to watch programming tailored to their locality.
