Mega (Chilean TV network)

Its official broadcasts began with coverage only for the Metropolitan Region and Valparaíso at 1:00 p.m. the following day, with the First Edition of Meganoticias hosted by a journalist Susana Horno from the newsroom.

In the first half of 1991, the signal was extended to Talca, Chillán, Concepción, Temuco and Punta Arenas; at the end of the year, it reached a reception of more than 85% of the Chilean territory.

With this, the development of co-productions was announced, such as the program Siempre en Domingo with Raúl Velasco from Santiago de Chile, as well as La Movida by Verónica Castro; however, Televisa's participation dropped to 33% in 1997, and in 1999 ownership of the channel would return entirely to Grupo Claro.

[need quotation to verify] In 1993, Megavisión together with Televisa obtained the concession to produce and broadcast the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, work that until then was carried out by Televisión Nacional de Chile; its animator, Antonio Vodanovic, emigrated to the channel to assume its conduction.

[need quotation to verify] The version of the Viña Festival in 1994 was the first under the alliance with Televisa: the Mexican network acted as co-producer and intermediary to get figures such as the tenor Plácido Domingo and the youth group Onda Vaselina.

[need quotation to verify] The dramatic area of Megavisión made its screen debut on 10 March 1997 with the telenovela Rossabella, which ranked third in audiences in the afternoon block.
