The authors analyze the digitalization of television broadcasting and the attempts to regulate the electronic publications’ market from a socio-historical and socio-cultural standpoint. Croatia internalized the European normative requirements in the EU accession process. However, the restructuration did not result in expected outcomes in the media system considering the public service broadcaster. The authors offer different analytical explanations to enlighten this long-term process.
