The initiative failed after the Ministry of the Interior refused to provide facilities to the UTE to carry out said project, considering that the association with a radio station would make it possible.

[6] Despite the regulations, the television channel project of the State Technical University continued and was definitively developed starting in 1971 under the aegis of the Film and TV Section of the UTE, which was in charge of the Department of Communications.

[9] In response to this, the Superintendency of Electrical, Gas and Telecommunications Services (Segtel) denounced that the airing of Teleonce would be illegal,[10] and on April 6 authorized experimental transmissions for six months for a channel of the State Technical University (UTE) that would occupy said frequency (11).

[13][14] According to Ricardo Núñez, in September 1973 the channel's antenna was already installed on Ricardo Cumming Street, and the inauguration of the station would have been scheduled for the 17th of the same month, on the occasion of the Tedeum de Fiestas Patrias;[8] at the beginning of September, the newspaper La Segunda reported that the recordings of the programs that would air on channel 11 had begun in the Protab studios.

[16] The fall of the government of Salvador Allende frustrated UTE's plans to have its own television channel, since the Military Junta did not recognize the agreement reached between the universities.
