Canal 19, also known as MegaNoticias is a Salvadorean over-the-air television network specialized in news and sports programming.

As of 2009, in addition to the retransmission of Nickelodeon's Latin American feed, the channel also broadcast third-party series that didn't air on the pan-regional Nickelodeon channel, that were acquired by Grupo Megavisión (such as H2O: Just Add Water and Lizzie McGuire).

The news hit the staff by surprise, while viewers were infuriated by the decision, especially those who could not afford cable.
