A "major breakdown" at France Télévisions, live broadcasts have resumed on France Info TV

France Télé is in a state of flux. The 24-hour television channel France Info was no longer broadcasting live this Saturday morning due to a technical failure that led to a brief interruption in broadcasts on other channels in the France Télévisions group overnight. The continuous news channel France Info was able to resume its live programs around 10 a.m. hours.

"A major breakdown in the air conditioning system in the rooms hosting the broadcast servers for the France 2, France 3, France 4, France 5 and France Info channels caused an interruption of scheduled programs around midnight," the group said in a statement that morning.

"France Télévisions teams, mobilized throughout the night, enabled a gradual return to normal broadcasting" on these channels, she added. On air, the interruption lasted only a few seconds. "However, some of the equipment in the France Info channel's production control room was damaged during the incident, and the channel is currently unable to resume its live programs. " "We apologize to all viewers," she continued.
