Canal Sur goes dark: the general strike abruptly cuts 'Despierta Andalucía'

Canal Sur interrupted its broadcast due to a general strike demanding better wages and public services. The signal went black during 'Despierta Andalucía', with a message explaining the interruption. This is not the first time the channel has faced such disruptions, having experienced similar incidents during previous strikes in 2010, 2012, and 2018. The strike on November 11 saw significant participation, with estimates indicating a 75% adherence across various sectors in Andalusia. The public radio continued broadcasting normally despite some staff joining the strike. The interruption aligns with minimum service regulations set by the Junta de Andalucía, which require essential news coverage during strikes.
