History

Canal 2 started broadcasting on January 1, 2007. It was established the previous year by governor Carlos Rovira using a budget of millions of Argentine pesos, which was not properly disclosed due to lack of transparency. [1]

Initially, the station relayed programs from Televisión Pública, Canal Encuentro and Telesur.

In April 2007, petitions were made for Cablevisión Posadas to add the station; its cable slot would replace Crónica TV. [2] The arrival was likely made after an agreement with the provincial electricity company upon the increase of the cost of the transport of the cables from 1 peso to 6. [3]

On December 1, 2011, the station became a Telefe affiliate; while in 2019, it was added to the ARSAT-2 satellite to enable provincial coverage and digital terrestrial coverage. HD broadcasts started in mid-2022 and TDA broadcasts on July 5, 2023, on channel 35.1. [4]

DTT coverage expanded in 2024 to Oberá (channel 19.1), Puerto Iguazú (channel 19.1) and 32.1 (Eldorado (channel 32.1).

Programación

In addition to relaying Telefe's programs, it airs news service NC2 Noticias de la calle (weekdays at 13:00 and 20:00), La tele con vos (morning magazine) and La ofrenda (musical program).

Relayers

Canal 2 has 11 relay stations in Misiones Province. [5]
