Canal Sur Televisión stops broadcasting from 08:20 because of the general strike

The Andalusian public channel cut its broadcast at around 08:20, in the middle of the news programme «Despierta Andalucía», and shows a black screen with a notice that the interruption is due to the general strike, according to elDiario.es and El Mira.

Corroborated by independent sources Certainty high

Canal Sur Televisión, the public channel of Andalusia's Radio y Televisión de Andalucía (RTVA), stopped broadcasting at around 08:20 on Wednesday, November 11, during the news programme «Despierta Andalucía», because of the general strike, according to elDiario.es and El Mira.

According to both outlets, broadcasting had run normally since midnight, when the 24-hour stoppage began, and the screen went black with this message: «The interruption of the broadcast is a consequence of the general strike call. We apologise for the inconvenience». El Mira adds that Andalucía TV, RTVA's second channel, was also black.

The minimum services, set by the regional Ministry of Employment, Enterprise and Self-Employment in a resolution published in the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucía, state that for radio and television the broadcasting of relevant news programming will be guaranteed in a reduced format, with strictly necessary staff, as both outlets report.

It is not the first interruption of this kind: according to El Mira, Canal Sur already altered its broadcast during the general strike of October 15, 2025 and during the RTVA staff strike of December 2020. Neither RTVA nor the Junta had explained, in the pages consulted, when broadcasting will resume.

This story stands on its own facts. The Post Apocalyptic does not link it to other incidents unless the sources demonstrate a connection.
