Open code is the most successful investigative and events format in the history of the Canarian public television and on all FORTA’s regional channels. (‘Federation of Regional Radio and Television Organisations’ which is associated with 12 public entities in Spain). The programme, created and produced by Videoreport Canarias, became the first choice of Canarian viewers on its broadcast day – ousting programmes of the same profile that were already well established on other national channels – to the point of ending the season with an average audience share of 17%.

In addition to covering news of events, Videoreport Canarias also opted to include in Open Code a space dedicated to its own investigation in which new and rigorous information was provided on cases of great importance or which, at the time, caused enormous social alarm.
