Contents

Vive is a television channel dedicated to offering a wide variety of entertainment for all audiences, specializing in talk shows, debate shows, news, and entertainment programs that address topics of general interest. [1] Its distinctive hallmark is humor, which brings freshness and a sense of closeness to every broadcast. [1]

Among the most successful programs on the Vive channel are the late-night show, Síganme Los Buenos , hosted by Julio César Rodríguez, [2] [3] [4] [5] and the debate show Sin filtros, [6] [7] [8] [9] hosted by Gonzalo Feito, [10] former reporter of Caiga Quien Caiga (CQC).

History

Vive was launched in October 2006 under the name Vive! Deportes, which broadcast the historic victory of Las Marcianitas in the 2006 Women’s Roller Hockey World Championship. This channel also briefly operated a second signal called SED (Sala de Eventos Deportivos), which was created on February 4, 2010.

During its seven years as a sports channel, it also included debate and talk shows in its programming, such as the late-night show Síganme Los Buenos, as well as sports-focused programs like news segments and discussions. In March 2014, it broadcast the 10th South American Games held in Santiago, together with CDO, through an agreement with VTR and the Chilean Olympic Committee.

On January 17, 2014, VTR confirmed the restructuring of its programming schedule and canceled all programs dedicated to sports news. [11] At the time, VTR’s programming manager, Francisco Guijón, announced that the provider wished to focus on thematic channels and not compete with larger sports channels.

In 2021, the debate show Sin filtros was released, which rose to prominence during the 2022 constitutional referendum campaign, with a more confrontational profile among panels representing both right and left-leaning viewpoints, the latter lost in the plebiscite with 38% of the vote, compared to the 62% obtained by the «Reject» option.

In 2024, Julio César ended his late-night show Síganme Los Buenos. However, in 2025, he launched his new program called Yuly, where he, now algonside José Antonio Neme, has continued interviewing figures from politics, sports, and entertainment, but in a televised podcast format.
