VTR (Vía Trans Radio Comunicaciones SpA) is a Chilean telecommunications company.

[5] The company was founded in 1928 as Vía Trans Radio Chilena Compañía de Radiotelegrafía, as a joint investment in the country made by Radio Corporation of America, the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, the Compagnie générale de la télégraphie sans fil (after 1968 Thomson-CSF) and Telefunken.

In 1986, Thomson-CSF sold its 25% stake in VTR to Antofagasta plc, part of the Grupo Luksic conglomerate.

[7][8] VTR also owned Bazuca.com, a now-defunct video rental services company, and —together with Turner Broadcasting System— CNN Chile, a 24-hour news channel based in Santiago,[8] until 2016, when it was bought entirely by WarnerMedia Latin America.

[10] In October 2022, the Fiscalía Nacional Económica (National Economic Prosecutor's Office) authorized the merger, but demanding the sale of the satellite television business operated by Claro, given the historical prohibition of the same FNE that has prevented VTR since 2004 offer such services.
