After conducting test broadcasts for four hours a day,[5] the channel was relaunched on January 23, 1983, under the name Frecuencia 2 from a mansion in the Miraflores district of Lima.

In the beginning, the channel was originally modeled after American independent stations (WPIX, WGN, KWGN, KTLA, WTBS, etc.).

[6] The channel's most notable programs at that time were ABC del Deporte, Sundays for youth and a micro-newscast called 90 Segundos.

In April 1989, Frecuencia 2 launched the newscast Contrapunto, which was characterized by its reports, condemnations and scandals that marked the era of the Alberto Fujimori regime.

However, the program in its final years adopted a pro-government editorial line and lost credibility for negatively portraying opponents of Fujimorism.

The main argument that was used to support this position towards such programs was that the station was limited to broadcasting entertainment and topics related to this genre in a tabloid manner, such as gossip, rumors, love affairs and infidelities of the channel's celebrities.

As a result, America was also in the crosshairs of criticism, because the station had violated the country's Radio and Television Law several times by broadcasting the program Esto es Guerra.

[9] In 2018, Latina announced it had secured the broadcasting rights for the 2022 FIFA World Cup for Peru, intending to air all matches on the free-to-air network.
