Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Spanish La Liga club Barcelona has reportedly decided to shut down its official television channel, Barca TV, which was founded in 1996, by June 30.<\/p>\n

The decision is said to result in the layoff of around 120 to 140 employees working at Barca TV.<\/p>\n

According to a report from Catalonia radio RAC1, Barcelona’s board of directors has informed Telefonica that the contract for Barca TV will not be extended beyond June 30.<\/p>\n

The decision to shut down the channel is attributed to the financial difficulties faced by the club in recent years.<\/p>\n

Despite the closure, Barcelona reportedly plans to continue some of its broadcasts via an online streaming platform with its 14 remaining employees.<\/p>\n
