The broadcast of La hora de La 1 was interrupted this Friday morning for about 20 minutes after an electrical outage that affected TVE and temporarily took the morning program off the air.

The incident also affected Canal 24 Horas, which shares that news slot, and caused an unexpected interruption in the middle of the live broadcast.

Upon regaining the signal, Silvia Intxaurrondo explained to viewers what had happened and assured that the team had suffered "a power outage of a nature we do not know," without further details being offered at the time about the origin of the incident.

What happened at TVE

The interruption occurred shortly after eight in the morning and took the program off the air for several minutes. The incident surprised viewers during regular programming and forced a temporary interruption of the broadcast until technical normality could be restored. For now, the public explanation offered live points exclusively to an internal electrical problem, with no confirmation of other causes.

After approximately 20 minutes, the broadcast was able to resume normally. The incident generated surprise on social media among viewers who encountered the sudden interruption of TVE's usual programming. To date, no additional explanations have emerged beyond the reference to the electrical outage mentioned during the return to the air.
