Businesses are becoming more and more exposed to influences from the outside environment. Factors like economic globalization, the intensification of competition, and the opening of markets have led administrators and scholars to try to understand how businesses can satisfy demands and how to influence the environment in which they find themselves. Broadcasters of free-to-air (FTA) television are going through changes caused by institutional pressures and by technological advances that the sector has been testing. The objective of this research was to identify what the impacts occasioned by the introduction of digital television to the FTA broadcaster studied have been. What has motivated the adoption of the new technology-only possibilities of improvements of the product, or were there external pressures that did not leave any alternative but to adopt the new technology? There were interviews with eight directors of the business studied. The directors interviewed are in charge of strategic areas in the business. The result of the research evinced that the introduction of digital technology into the broadcasters of FTA television will not bring about significant changes in the short term; it is a matter of a technological change. Despite the new technology having a high potential to spur innovations, the business studied is conservative in regard to the investments necessary for its complete distribution in function of the high costs that such investments would involve for the business studied and for the consumers, without there being an adequate profitability. The broadcasters of FTA television have adopted digital technology in response to the growth of new media like the Internet, cellphones, and pay TV.
