The first legal television broadcasts in Andorra date back to the 1970s. The Andorran television scene is the direct result of the country's complex history, which can be explained by the balanced cultural, political and social relations of the European microstate with the two neighboring countries, France and Spain. Thus, Andorra had first time a color television input, although for a while it shared the signal with black and white. The incorporation of the country into the digital era was, however, quite leading. Andorra is the third European country, after Finland and Luxembourg, to have switched off the analogue signal. The Andorran television channel Andorra Televisió was launched in 1995.
