Channel 8, officially known as LV 82 TV Canal 8, began broadcasting on May 2, 1964, serving as one of the primary television stations in San Juan Province.
The station marked a major technological milestone on May 1, 1980, with the official launch of color broadcasts,[2] modernizing its programming and improving the viewing experience.
Two years later, in March 1999, the Argentine Ministry of Communications granted the channel permission to conduct Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) tests under the ATSC standard, a regulatory framework established in 1998.
Later that year, in August 2018, management announced a focus on strengthening local programming, though some content from América TV remained part of the schedule.
Finally, on December 9, 2019, Channel 8 fully transitioned to high-definition broadcasting, further enhancing its service to viewers across San Juan Province.
