Net TV is an Argentine commercial television network that is property of Grupo Perfil, and operated by Kuarzo Entertainment Argentina. The network is headquartered in Barracas, Buenos Aires.[1]
Net TV made its formal debut on October 1, 2018 with the cooking-themed talk show Como Todo, becoming the sixth and newest "must carry" broadcast network of Argentina in 54 years, after the launch of América TV.[2]
History
Net TV was conceived by Grupo Perfil's founder Jorge Fontevecchia, with the idea to expand its company to audiovisual media. Fontevecchia inaugurated on October, 2015 its new headquarters in the Barracas neighborhood in Buenos Aires, equipped with radio and television studios, and presented to the Federal Authority for Audiovisual Communication Services (AFSCA) a proposal to license radio and television networks.[3] The original plan was to own an AM radio, a FM radio and must carry digital television networks. On September 25, 2015, the proposal was rejected by the AFSCA due to "flaws" in the documentation that was presented.[4]
In 2016, looked for the licenses again, and finally obtained them for AM 1190 kHz, FM 101.9 MHz and two digital television signals through the National Communications Entity (ENACOM) resolutions 1107/16 and 1108/16 published on October 19, 2016, in the State Official Newsletter, to cover the area of Greater Buenos Aires. This is how finally the Grupo Perfil obtained the license for Net TV in the 27.2 digital channel, Alfa TV in the 21.1 digital channel, and Bravo TV in the 27.1 digital channel (these last two still continue with broadcast testing). Due to the nature of its must carry license, all cable operators must include it on their lineups. The remainder of hours was filled with repeats from its original programming.[5]
Programming
Net TV began airing original programming on weekdays from 12 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. since its first airing. The network began operations with the cooking-themed talk show Como Todo, and other programs included talk shows Las Rubias + 1 (moving from KZO Entertainment and hosted by Marcela Tinayre), Chismoses (hosted by Luciana Salazar and Augusto Tartúfoli), Tenemos Wifi (hosted by Nicolás Occhiato and Stefanía Roitman), and Pampita Íntima (hosted by Pampita). Other shows also included reality shows Cuestión de Peso (Argentine adaptation of The Biggest Loser) and Todo por Amor (adapted from For Love or Money and previously known as Por Amor o por Dinero during its first year).[6] During the late-night, overnight and early morning, the network aired a live feed of the inside of the house of the reality Por Amor o por Dinero.[7] On November 26, 2018, the network premiered the first scripted show during the primetime, the telenovela Millenials.[8] Later that year, dance-themed reality show Cualquiera Puede Bailar premiered as the first show to air original episodes during the weekends.[9][10]
Programming for 2019 included new shows such as talk show Gente Opinando (hosted by Joaquín Álvarez)[11], the game show Pareja o Despareja with Gastón Soffritti and Stefanía Roitman,[12] the return of Pampita Online (hosted by Pampita and moved from KZO Entertainment), news/interview programs Corea del Centro on weeknights,[13] and Perdiodismo Puro (hosted by Fontevecchia) on Sunday nights.[14] Millenials was renewed for a second season that premiered on June 10,[15] and other Colombian telenovelas such as The Queen of Flow, The Girl, Pablo Escobar, The Drug Lord, and The Mafia Dolls also premiered during the year.[16][17][18][19] Sketch comedy television show Peligro: Sin Codificar moved from Telefé to Net TV and premiered on August 26 in the prime time.[20]
During 2020, telenovelas La Promesa and La Viuda Negra joined the schedule as the new additions.[21] The network is also aiming to modify its image to a more journalism-based schedule in the future.[22]
