Headlines of a newscast on a now-defunct regional station, Canal 4 Castilla y León (Spain), in 2005.

Advisory: the video includes images of bullfighting.



Canal 4 Castilla y León, which was privately-owned, used to compete with an other privately-owned regional station on the same area, Televisión Castilla y León.

These two stations eventually merged in 2009 into Radio Televisión de Castilla y León, which operates two channels nowadays (La 7 & La 8​), and is jointly owned by the two former entities.
