A technical problem forces 'Informativos Telecinco' to be interrupted as soon as it starts: "Aliens invade us"

In the height of summer, television channels reduce their staff due to the holidays, so it is more common for there to be some technical problems in the broadcast that alter its rhythm, unlike what happens during the rest of the year.

This is what happened this Tuesday on Telecinco, a few minutes after starting the midday newscast. Verónica Dulanto has given way to Isabel Jiménez from the set of Ya es mediodía and the newscast has started normally, although the broadcast failures have not taken long to appear to the surprise of the viewers who at that time connected with the main Mediaset chain.

Telecinco News had just started the 3 o'clock edition and opened the headlines talking about a new case of sexist violence. It was just after entering the header that an adjustment letter appeared with an annoying beep. In it you could see the well-known color bars and the text "MCR Mediaset España 1080 50i".

The failure barely lasted a few seconds, but it has not gone unnoticed by Telecinco viewers, who have pointed out the unexpected event through social networks with a series of messages loaded with irony.

"When the adjustment letter came out in the Telecinco news program, we thought: 'the broadcast is cut off, aliens are already invading us," wrote a user on Twitter. Others confirmed that they had also seen the technical failure with their stories on the social network.

"The moment of the adjustment letter and 1080 from Telecinco?" another tweeter wondered, quickly receiving the response of a third viewer who has also realized the error. "Anyone has a technical failure, especially in the summer with fewer personnel and replacements," he explained to justify what happened.
