Panamericana Televisión
The third oldest channel in the country. In its prime it managed to contend for the leadership of most-watched television channel, but now its audience is low. None of its programs appears in Kantar Ibope’s ranking of the 100 most-watched programs. It originated from the company founded in 1959 by the brothers Genaro, Hector and Manuel Delgado Parker, their father Genaro Delgado Brandt and the Lindley family, which owns the Inca Kola soft drink factory. It began broadcasting on channel 13 in 1959 and in 1965 it changed the frequency to channel 5. Many important figures in entertainment and journalism had spaces on this station. Almost all of them left for other media organizations due to judicial and economic problems it faced because of the dispute over the channel’s administration between Genaro Delgado Parker and the Schütz family. It is known as “la esquina de la televisión (the cornerstone of television”). Charitable events and competitions were held abroad. In 2015, the company struck a trade agreement with Enfoca, owners of Latina Televisión. Details of the deal are unknown. The only information that was provided was that the purpose of the alliance was to sell more advertisement and share their productions. Its programming schedule is currently decided in the Rating Committee meetings that are held at the Latina offices.
