This term keeps popping up in a text I am translating. Here are a couple of examples:
"...supondrá una profunda renovación de la televisión generalista y del panorama audiovisual español ..."
"... cuya señal será ocupada a partir de ese día por la nueva cadena generalista en abierto ..."
I first thought it meant the "televisión en abierto", but the second example pretty much rules that out. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

I understand this to be the opposite of Specialist TV (ie it covers drama, comedy, music news, wildlife etc, rather than specialising in one type). I think you can use "Generalist Television" though it sounds a bit odd!
From Stanford article: "The specific expectations for this experiment then were that people who watch a news-only television set should perceive the news segments to better reflect fundamental characteristics of news than people who watch the identical content on a television used to display several different types of content (generalist television). Similarly, people who watch an entertainment-only television set should perceive the entertainment segments to better reflect fundamental characteristics of entertainment than people who watch the generalist television. Furthermore, the perceived quality of content should be superior for the specialist televisions than for the generalist television."

network television
"Generalista", in Spanish, seems to refer to what we in the US call "network television" (i.e., television channels that are available free of charge, as opposed to cable television).
Here is another reference from Spain that seems to confirm this:
Cuatro es una nueva cadena de televisión generalista de ámbito nacional, gratuita, que el próximo lunes, 7 de Noviembre empezará a emitir en abierto durante las 24 horas a través de la frecuencia que actualmente utiliza Canal+.

: Correct, also add the idea that this will necessarily be open broadcast, i.e. not pay to view or encoded: examples are the BBC and ITV in the UK, as against the pay-to-view parts of Sky. Originally Canal Plus in Spain was open broadcast general interest.
