La Red (Chilean TV channel)
La Red (literally The Network), is a private television channel in Chile. It began broadcasting on 12 May 1991, as the second private television station in Chile, after Mega.
From 1991 to 2014, the channel operated in facilities adjacent to the Chilefilms complex in Las Condes. In 2014, it opened its own production complex ubicated in Macul, which has three studios.
La Red is owned by Albavisión, owned by low-profile media mogul Remigio Ángel González; its parent company, Compañía Chilena de Televisión, is owned by two figurehead companies, Televideo Chile S.A. y MLC Inversiones S.A., whose executive director is the same as La Red. Televideo Chile is made up of several foreign entities, including foreign Albavisión stations: Belleville Investments Ltda., Televideo Services Inc., Prolasa, Televisora Cerro Cora, Andina de Radiodifusión S.A.C. and Aidesa S.A.
The channel's financial operations in 2024 have been positive, but were possible due to loans from its parent company.
On January 20, 1990, the Government called for a tender for private entities to be awarded the concession and operation of ten radio stations nationwide. One of these – Channel 4 in San José de Maipo, then a repeater of Televisión Nacional de Chile (Televisión Nacional de Chile) – was awarded to the company formed by Jaime Castro y Compañía (1%) and ChileFilms Artes y Comunicaciones S.A. (99%), which offered 1.2 million US dollars for the frequency.
After test broadcasts during the first months of 1991, official broadcasts began on May 12 of that year, with Sergio Melnick as the station's general manager. Since then, it has stood out for being the first channel to incorporate stable public service programs into its programming.
It was long considered a "breeding ground" for presenters, as its personalities were soon hired by major national channels such as TVN and Canal 13, as in the case of Kike Morandé, Eli de Caso, Raúl Alcaíno and Mauricio Israel, among others.
From its inception, this channel also established a News Department, its first news program being "Noticias en La Red" (News on the Net), which aired four times daily, in addition to hourly news bulletins. Its first newscast aired on May 12, 1991, and was anchored by journalist María Inés Alliende, who came from Televisión Nacional de Chile (National Television of Chile). The channel also broadcast some of the programming from the Empresa de Comunicaciones Orbitales (ECO) network, owned by Televisa.
