Thus, from today August 30, 2021, the channel 8tv Is available in Movistar +, Vodafone TV and Orange TV. The channel broadcasts in HD, and will feature entertainment-oriented programming. For example, it will feature “PAM! Anti Siesta Program ”, presented by Frank Blanco and which will be the alternative to Zapping with which they will seek to compete.
New 8tv content
We will also find a current-oriented program with live connections called «Directo! Catalonia ”, presented by Miquel Serra and Sabina Pedròs. In turn, Samanta Villar will have a space called Uncomfortable Interview, where she will conduct interviews and discuss sensitive issues without mincing words. Other programs will be Cataluña Opina, El Curubito or Sexual Revolution.
8tvAs we see, it will have a current-oriented content and fresh content oriented to a younger audience. In Catalonia, Andorra and the Balearic Islands it can be seen through DTT, and as with many regional televisions, it can now be seen from Spain through the television of the operators.
Movistar loses 5 channels
In turn, Movistar has eliminated five sports channels. Among them we find Movistar LaLiga 6, Movistar LaLiga 7 and Movistar LaLiga 8, all three dedicated to offering multi-window matches. We also found the disappearance of Movistar Sports 7.
However, the most painful loss is that of the canal Movistar Champions League 1 UHD. This channel began broadcasting in tests last July because Movistar was going to start broadcasting more matches in 8K. In the previous season they only broadcast 8 games in 4K, but this year they were going to significantly increase that number. They may have already carried out the relevant tests, and may have found enough space for the rest of the games on the main channel. Therefore, we do not know if he will return.
Beyond that, starting next September 1st, new channels will be added to Movistar + with the arrival of Movistar Clásicos and Movistar Fest, which will complete the reordering of Movistar channels and content, where now, for example, we will have two channels dedicated to new films, and another two channels dedicated to new series.
