The Valencian regional broadcaster À Punt launches on 7 September 2026 by 22:45 the new weekly current affairs series Panorama. According to the broadcaster, the programme is aimed at a broad evening audience and will explore current issues in the Comunitat Valenciana in depth and from different perspectives.
For its first edition, Panorama focuses on the summer wildfires in the Comunitat Valenciana. In its announcement, À Punt gives the affected area as just under 10,000 hectares and points to particularly hard-hit areas such as La Vall d’Uixó, Segorbe, El Saler and the Serra d’Espadà. The programme will focus on causes, response operations and the lessons that authorities and communities can learn. It is set to include interviews with experts in wildfire prevention and response, local residents, and officials from the administration and civil protection services.
The programme promises a combination of on-the-ground reporting, data analysis and the voices of those affected. According to the broadcaster, the editorial team intends to examine not only the immediate damage but also the medium- and long-term consequences for nature, local authorities and infrastructure. This includes the question of how recurring periods of heat and drought affect fire risks and which prevention strategies are being implemented in the region.
Beyond its launch edition, Panorama is planning further special features. Announced topics include the role of tourism in the Comunitat Valenciana and developments in the housing market. The editorial team also intends to cover the start of the 2026/2027 school year and document the views of teachers’ unions, families and authorities. The programme is thus targeting issues that directly affect large sections of the population and where economic interests, social equity and public services overlap.
From a programming perspective, À Punt is expanding its offering with a traditional current affairs programme in prime time. The new series is intended to present complex issues clearly and place regional developments in a wider context. What specific assessments the authorities will present of the damage and the causes of the fires, and what political consequences may follow at autonomous community level, remains unclear for now. Panorama says it will continue to follow these issues in future editions.
