An essential service

The global emergency due to Covid-19 has generated paralysis in many sectors of the economy, and in others it has been maintained and even increased, including the health, food, telecommunications and broadcast sectors.

The need for information and entertainment, as well as connectivity for working from home during quarantine periods, has resulted in a significant increase in the consumption of television, internet and in general of all telecommunications services.

While the production of series, novels and films has had to stop temporarily, newscasts and entertainment programs, both radio and television, continue to air with many of the talents broadcasting from their homes to comply with sanitary measures, which has forced channels and stations to expand their technical resources in order to comply with quality remote work.

Even at this time many governments have declared broadcast and telecommunications services as essential, so they can not be suspended for lack of payment connections such as subscription TV, internet, telephony, even must guarantee minimum access.

Therefore, from TVyVideo+Radio we want to highlight and thank the role played by all those who are part of the radio, television and video industry. With their dedicated work they have managed to make these moments of uncertainty a little easier.
