The regional tv channel canal9 which retransmitted Fallas mascletas eveyday in Canal9 and the international channel, as well as many other fallas events, will be close in the next hours.

The regional tv corporation was known to have too much people working for them, low audiences and many expenditures, with a debt of 1200million of euros the goberment fired 1000 workers some months ago in orde to make it viable as they were also cutting the budget in every area of administration.

The workers and syndicates denounced the process for this reorganization of the channel, a judge gave them the reason som weeks ago and forced the valencia goberment to readmit the workers. As the goberment have no money to spend in the public tv corporation they decided to close it, and now is finally doing.
The radio signal has ceased, the tv signal will do in a few hours as the police is blocking the building and the workers are trying to avoid the cut of the signal.

This means that, unless the create a new tv corporation nest year, of which i haven't read anything yet, there will be no online mascletas in 2014.
National tv , TVE haven't ever retransmited mascletas, local tvs haven't the means.
TVE have retransmitted the cremá and final night mascleta every year, and for example, last year they retransmited it and canal9 did'nt as workers were on strike.

Probably the valencia goberment will create another regional tv corporation because it's the only mean to have a tv in valenciano language, but nobody knows anything about this and how much time will take it to create.

It's done, canal9 is closed and ceased broadcasting on tv and internet.

I hope the Valencia regional goberment create a new regional tv more adequate to the real demands and with a short budget.

Mooi waardeloos dit. Speciaal een appartement gehuurd met een poolbiljart, om dan smiddags tijdens het poolen de mascleta te bekijken op tv, krijg je dit te horen.

It's very bad but i can understand why this channel has not enough viewers.
When i am in Spain i always zap to Canal9 but always and i mean always there are movies that where mad when i was not even born.
But i hope Valencia will find a solution.

And if they want, then we from FPM can broadcast the mascletas for them :)

Het is natuurlijk niet goed dat er weer een bedrijf omvalt, maar canal9 bracht de mascletas altijd zo slecht in beeld. Misschien dat daar nu verandering in komt. Als ze nou echt top-notch, fingerlicking good, pyroporno willen uitzenden op tv moeten ze natuurlijk bij FPM wezen!
