Police evict RTV (TV Valencia) staff in Spain after closure of station

Liquidators escorted by police are evicting staff from a public TV station in the Spanish city of Valencia, after an order to shut it down.

They moved in after staff at the loss-making station defied the closure order by the regional government and continued broadcasting.

Valencia's government took the decision to close RTVV after losing a court battle over staff cuts.

It is the first regional TV station to be closed down as austerity bites.

Astra 2E - The New UK TV Satellite- News Update

Astra 2E Update : 28/11/13 :

Astra 2E, the new UK TV satellite, is still located at 43east.

At the moment it is unknown as to why it has not yet started to move to the UK TV Astra slot at 28 east.

This means that is it still unclear as to when UK TV transmissions from the likes of BBC ITV C4 will commence from Astra 2E.

Will it start before Christmas or in the New Year? We simply do not know at the moment...

Al Jazeera Sports and 3pm Premier League Kick offs - the latest news

Al Jazeera Sports and 3pm Premier League Kick offs - the latest news

http://www.satandpcguy.com/blog/2013/11/al-jazeer-asports-3pm-premier-league-kick-offs-latest/


According to reports, the FAPL are starting to limit which of the 3pm FA Premier League kick offs are made available to broadcasters.

For European broadcasters this has almost always been the case, since many of these services (Sky Italia, Sky Germany, Canal+) can also be receive via satellite in the UK.

However, it appears that this "3pm blackout" has now also been imposed on other non European broadcasters, including Al Jazeera Sports.

Could this be some "retaliation" by the FA PL on JSC, due to the JSC channels being available to many IPTV Internet TV systems, and that are used by some "pubs" in the UK??
