Audio-visual media is an important factor in strengthening the Slovene national identity and in preserving the Slovene language. In 2008 99% of households had televisions, 64.7% received cable programmes and 9.9% satellite programmes (Source: http://www.cek.ef.uni-lj.si/u_diplome/polensek4206.pdf). The number of printed dailies is also increasing. The largest share of audiences – more than 90% – is attracted by audio-visual media (radio and television), newspapers 6% and journals 2%. Research shows that reading habits among those younger than 18 years are falling sharply and, at the same time, they are above average users of television.
