Canal 13 Valparaíso was the regional version of Canal 13 for the Valparaíso Region, Chile. His studios were located at Almirante Barroso 557, 22nd Floor, in the El Almendral neighborhood of the city of Valparaíso.

History

Transmissions began experimentally on November 5, 1976, when Channel 13 of Santiago installed a repeater antenna in the city of Valparaíso and began transmitting through channel 8, which until February 22, 1969 belonged to UCV Televisión (which moved to channel 4). In December of the same year, broadcasts began officially. For the arrival of the signal from Santiago, a microwave repeater was installed on La Dormida hill, from where the signal was redirected to the antenna installed in the Water sector. Santa Alto, in Viña del Mar. It offered a local newscast and advertising in the national disconnections of Channel 13. It broadcast 15 minutes of news after Teletrece Tarde, and 20 to 25 minutes of news after Teletrece. Also during the broadcasts of the national editions of Teletrece, live links have also been made with the headquarters in Valparaíso, where the main information that occurred in the area is reviewed. One of the milestones of Channel 13's local broadcasts for Valparaíso was the regional debate held on May 18, 2005 between the presidential candidates of the Coalition of Parties for Democracy, ahead of the coalition's primary elections. The event was broadcast by Channel 13 Valparaíso and TVN Red Valparaíso. This regional debate was the only one that was held, since later the candidate of the Christian Democratic Party,
