Canal Sur Halts TV Broadcast After Staff Join National Pro-Palestine Stoppage

Staff participation in CCOO and UGT stoppages prompted a temporary shutdown with an on-screen apology.

Overview

  • Canal Sur cut programming at 10:00, switching to a test card immediately after its morning politics show.
  • RTVA said the interruption occurred because employees followed partial stoppages and a strike called by CCOO and UGT.
  • The broadcaster indicated the test signal was expected to remain on screen until around midday.
  • The unions framed the action as denouncing what they called the Israeli state's genocide following news of an Israel–Hamas peace plan and prisoner releases.
  • Spain’s national broadcaster RTVE kept normal transmissions and was not affected by the stoppage.
