Zusammenfassung

When reviewing the literature on minority languages and media in Europe, we observe that while some refer to the so called Regional Minority Languages others focus, especially in the last years, on Immigrant Minority Languages. There is no doubt that they deal with different realities. However in this article we try to find out what the commonalities are between such different realities, related to the use of television. We first illustrate the television landscape in both type of languages across Europe, then remark some commonalities as such of the impact that multiculturalism and media constructed geolinguistic regions might have on them. We finally draw some conclusion for future research.
