This noon, Véronique Barbier opened her newscast by warning viewers that the public service was the victim of technical problems. “Thank you for joining us for a somewhat disturbed JT, thus explains the presenter of the midday newscast. The RTBF has indeed been experiencing a serious computer problem since this morning that prevents us from offering you a completely normal newspaper, but we will still inform you.”
Public service obliges, the RTBF was not going not to inform its viewers. Cut off from the headlines at the beginning of the newspaper, the JT was indeed immediately disrupted in its circulation. The newspaper therefore began directly following this unprecedented intervention by Véronique Barbier. In short, between an Intranet that no longer responds and other technical concerns, the RTBF is impacted on Wednesday, February 9th. But until when? Case to follow.
