This article analyses the bibliometric behaviour of the scientific journals included in the category “Film, Radio & Television” indexed in Web of Science (Arts & Humanities Citation Index and Emerging Sources Citation Index). Previously, the validity of the 2 years impact factor for the category was studied, comparing it with a citation window of 3 and 5 years only for A&HCI, demonstrating a high similarity in its behaviour. The nationality of the author’s affiliation centres, along with the language of publications, frequency, typology of the documents and the citation net among the journals were also analysed. Among the results, the 2017 ranking of the journals is offered, according to their Impact Factor. It is noteworthy that three quarters of the total journals (74,6%) correspond to United Kingdom and the United States, indicating a deep geographical and linguistic bias. Likewise, only 26 of the 64 journals interchange citations of articles, without any central core, showing a lack of consistency in the selection of the publications.
