RTVE has released a statement this morning through its main social networks and platforms to notify that, due to a fire in some of its facilities, the television schedule of some of the communication group’s channels (La 1, La 2 and the channel 24 hours) would be modified.
”Due to a fire already controlled at the RTVE (@rtve) facilities in Torrespaña (Madrid), the broadcasts of @La1_tve, @la2_tve and the 24h channel cannot be carried out normally,” the company said, making it clear that the fire is controlled.
In the brief letter, RTVE also apologizes to all those viewers who cannot watch their favorite programs today and recognizes that they are working very hard to recover normality as soon as possible.
Minutes after this first communication, the public audiovisual giant has publicly notified that the broadcasts of Radio Nacional de España were also being affected by the fire: The broadcasts of @rne are also being affected. We will try to fix the problem as soon as possible. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
At the moment the causes that gave rise to said fire and what exact areas are affected are unknown, but it has been known that it was controlled around 8 in the morning.
The statement from the public audiovisual organization has caused great concern among hundreds of social media users, who barely woke up and came across the news. Once it was confirmed that the fire was under control and, although the magnitude of the fire and the real consequences of the damage are still unknown, many people wanted to send encouragement and support to all the workers of the public entity.
”Thank you and let’s hope that it is resolved without serious incidents”, ”My goodness”, ”That it was nothing serious and even less so for your workers. Cheer up!”, ”I hope it’s nothing and that everyone is well”, ”Let it be as little as possible”, ”I already said there was no morning news” or ”A difficult morning” ‘ are some of the messages that can be read on the Internet.
There have also been many media outlets that have echoed the news and have encouraged the public entity in a situation as complicated and dangerous as a fire.
