More than 15 television stations broadcast the four-way electoral debate live

The 'Deb4te 2016' raises great media expectations. Almost 70 media outlets, 11 of them international, with a large presence in Latin America, will follow the broadcast live.

Yesterday, Sunday, the Television Academy held its last meeting with the representatives of each party. Jorge Moragas (PP), Antonio Hernando (PSOE), Irene Montero (Unidos Podemos) and Fernando Páramo (Ciudadanos) have visited the set to find out the latest details of the televised debate and see in situ the space in which their candidates will debate this Monday. The four have also taken the route that their leaders will have to take upon their arrival at the Municipal Congress Palace and have visited the dressing rooms, from which their teams will be able to follow the development of this historic televised meeting.

After holding a working meeting with the Academy team, in statements to the media, all the political representatives thanked the work of the team in charge of the production and were very satisfied with the care and scope with which this four-party debate is being organized.

A representation of the Ded4te team made up of Tacho de la Calle, Paco Moreno, María Gallego and Valentín Carrera, members of the Academy's Board of Directors, explained the latest technical details to the media.

Tacho de la Calle has reported that a few minutes before the start of the program, accredited print media will be allowed to access the set to capture the unpublished image of the four candidates for the presidency of the Government, accompanied by the three moderators and the President of the Academy. In this sense, Paco Moreno has highlighted that despite the technical complexity involved in giving access to the set to all those who have requested it, given the limited space and the large number of accredited media: "We have preferred not to limit this possibility to a pool so that each media can have its own graphic report on such a special occasion."

For her part, María Gallego, recalled the great media expectation that this debate has aroused, which will be covered by almost 70 media outlets, 11 of them international, and particularly in Latin America: "The Latin American Information Alliance (AIL) that integrates more than 22 television stations on the continent will receive the Academy's signal through Hispasat, and television stations such as SIN and Telesistema Canal 11 from the Dominican Republic and Caracol from Colombia will give the debate in its entirety."

Finally, Valentín Carrera has reported that "an audio signal will be offered with the details of the arrivals and departures of the candidates, narrated by the academic Ana Rodríguez Martí. Also, as in the previous debates organized by the Academy, the signal will be broadcast subtitled and in sign language to make this televised meeting accessible to all people."

At the moment, fifteen television stations have confirmed, for the moment, that they will broadcast Deb4te 2016 live starting at ten at night: La 1 de TVE, Canal 24 Horas, Antena 3 TV, Telecinco, laSexta, 13 TV, Intereconomía, Telemadrid, Canal Sur, Aragón Televisión, 7 TV Region of Murcia, Castilla-La Mancha TV, Canal Extremadura, Castilla León TV and TV Mediterráneo.

For the production of the debate, the Academy will have a total of 28 cameras, some of which will offer a redundant signal, thus ensuring a high degree of backup.
