In order to know the extent of the problem, the same television station posted an ad on its Twitter account asking its followers to report transmission problems through a Google form. “If you have problems cutting or losing your Willax Television signal in your cable or open signal service, report it” reads in the publication that comes with a link.

CONFUSING MOMENT

When it was confirmed that it was not possible to connect to the Willax TV broadcast, several users considered theories about the reason for the problem. A viewer who could not watch the aforementioned channel shared a message shared by Direct TV stating that the problem would lie with the source signal.

The signal was interrupted when the program “Beto a Saber” discussed what happened to the fatalities of the protests generated after the price hike in various products. Since then, not a few users have used unconfirmed theories to denounce the origin of what happened. “What is happening with Willax is very strange (...) I don't want to say that the government is behind it, we have to be careful with it, we have to be vigilant,” was one of the comments posted on social networks.

Among the authorities who referred to what happened was Congressman Alejandro Cavero, who called for “vigilance in defense of the freedom of expression” after describing the signal cut-off as strange. Willax continued with their programming and spent several minutes discussing the problem they had to face tonight, but it has not yet been possible to confirm the origin of it. It is expected that in the next few hours the relevant authorities will disclose the causes of the strange event. At the close of this note, Willax's signal through Movistar was still stopped, but through its website it was possible to obtain image and sound.
