Cable News Network Chile (known as CNN Chile and abbreviated as CNN CL) is a Chilean pay television news channel launched on 4 December 2008.[1] It was originally a joint venture between VTR Chile and Warner Bros. Discovery. The channel is based in Santiago, Chile.[2]
It is the local version of popular TV news channel CNN, which had previously shown interest in the Chilean market when it covered the 2005 presidential elections through CNN en Español.
History[edit]
The news channel is partnered with free-to-air network Chilevisión since 2010, when Turner Broadcasting System purchased it for $145 million to Sebastian Piñera's family.
Since 2016, it is completely owned by Turner Broadcasting System Latin America as VTR sold its participation in the channel to them.
