Telenorte was a Chilean Television network launched in 1966 and closed in 2001. The network had stations in Arica, Iquique, Antofagasta and La Serena.
History
Until 1995
Telenorte appeared in 1982, after privatization of the television network owned by the Catholic University of the North into a single channel. The original channel started in 1966, in Antofagasta, called Red Educativa de la Universidad del Norte (Educational Network of the University of the North). The network was to come to other cities in the following years.
After creation of the network came an era of transmissions originating with Canal 13 in Santiago de Chile via microwave transmission. Programs were broadcast live, such as Sábado Gigante, that once were available as rebroadcasts only.
The last major transmission with Canal 13 was in 1988. Later, Telenorte signed with Chilevisión in 1990, with deals with Red Televisión and Megavisión coming later. Finally, Telenorte signed with UCV TV in 1994 until 2001.
After 1995
In 1995, Universidad Católica del Norte ceased to be owner and when ownership passed into the hands of Compañía Radio Chilena S.A.
The network entered into bankruptcy, closing studios in Iquique in 1996, La Serena in 1997, Antofagasta in 1998. The Arica station closed in 2001, ending the network.
On December 31, 2001 UCV TV took over Telenorte, giving the Valparaíso station coverage in northern Chile. However, the signal was shut down in 2005.
That same year, the Telenorte signal was acquired by the company Alfa Tres, owner of Telecanal.
