Outside of the province, América is available on cable & satellite nationally, and its programs are rebroadcast by two broadcast stations owned by Grupo América—Channel 7 Mendoza and Channel 8 San Juan—plus two affiliates in Junín and Tucumán.
Channel 2 in La Plata was launched on 25 June 1966 as Tevedos, under the ownership of Rivadavia Televisión S.A., whose owners also had several radio stations and the now-defunct El Mundo daily newspaper.
But with transmission facilities in Florencio Varela to the south, northern portions of the metropolitan area couldn't receive an adequate signal.
The ratings for Argentinian television were measured in Buenos Aires, and its comparatively poor signal could not offer the same coverage as its four competitors.
Radiodifusora El Carmen S.A. won the license, but it took four years for the company to find a partner with the technical capacity to run the station.
Within a month, Teledos, now Argentina's second private television channel, rocketed to second place in ratings, leaving behind the station's long cellar dweller past.
In 1994, what was now known as América 2 moved its studios—and, more importantly, its transmitter—to the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, improving its terrestrial reception and becoming the first of the major Argentine broadcasters to possess digital television equipment.
The station's news director apparently refused to allow the program to air, and as a result, both Television Registrada and Indomables left América.
