History

In September 2021, the company announced its intention to start a new Spanish-language news and information channel to be aimed at a conservative audience and directed by Marcial Cuquerella. At first, the project was named La Alternativa; [3] its founders sought to establish a channel similar in style to Fox News and extend its influence to Spain, Latin America and the United States. [4]

The channel began broadcasting on October 12, 2021, National Holiday of Spain, as a test under its final name 7NN. In its beginnings, the channel broadcast on digital terrestrial television in Madrid, Zaragoza and the Region of Murcia. [5]

At the beginning of 2023, the channel entered into a financial crisis due to poor revenues; Cuquerella left 7NN in February, [6] and the channel laid off staff and ceased being broadcast outside the Madrid area in March. [7]

On March 28, 2023, 7NN announced the end of its broadcasts because the channel was unable to generate the necessary income to cover operating expenses. [8] [9] Finally, the 7NN signal was turned off at midnight on March 31.

Programming

7NN's programming mainly consists of news and talk shows, as well as some cultural and entertainment content. [10] The channel's objective at the beginning was to provide informative programming with a conservative ideology to compete with LaSexta or Canal 24 Horas, considered progressive media by part of the Spanish political spectrum. [11]

Ideology

Some media outlets consider 7NN to be close to Vox, a far-right political party, as well as organizations such as El Yunque and the Francisco Franco National Foundation. [12] [13] However, the directors of the channel have stated that they seek to maintain a neutral ideology while telling the truth of the facts. [14]

The channel's editorial leanings have already led it to clashes with some political parties such as PSOE, Unidas Podemos, Catalan and Basque separatists and other left-wing or green parties that came to request the prohibition of 7NN journalists in the Congress of Deputies. [15]
