The genre was first introduced in the country in 1994 by Perdona nuestros pecados, a comedy by Raúl Portal.
The genre was later picked up by talk shows, that air a portion of an event that took place at some other program, which is then discussed by the people in the studios.
[1] Political programs such as Intratables use a similar format to the talk shows, but focused on politics-related events.
Others like 6, 7, 8 and Televisión Registrada highlight contradictions between modern events and things that the involved politicians may have said in the past; this use was criticized because it usually forced seemed contradictions by using phrases from out of context for shocking value.
The Chilean laws would not allow this genre, as the content generated by other TV channels can only be re-aired with authorization.
