Digital media show business-oriented. They repeat what is broadcasted on screen and create contents from this. It also has tools to make the interaction between the audience and the TV screen easier. The first site of the channel was launched in 1997 as an institutional site. The most salient feature was the schedule. There was no informative content. It was not until 2000 that they started to transcript the contents of the news articles broadcasted. In 2011, with the incorporation of Francisco Flores as chief of the digital area, the web site begins to have its own content. There was not only news but also entertainment articles. This gave place to the current digital media. It is based on the creation of contents broadcasted on screen and likely to go viral.

Founder
Baruch Ivcher Bronstein
Affiliated Interests Founder
was a major broadcaster. He presided over the board of the then-channel Frecuencia Latina in two periods and was the visible face of the medium for several decades. He is an Israeli businessman who came to Peru in 1970 to secure the Paraíso mattress factory that his brother had established in 1967, and was quite successful. He became associated with Bernardo Batievsky and the Winter brothers in order to establish channel 2. Because the law prohibited any foreigner from owning a media organization and he had not yet been nationalized, his initial participation went through the notary Luis Vargas. He was married and was nationalized in Peru in 1984. Following the release of several reports denouncing acts of corruption, Alberto Fujimori's government withdrew his Peruvian nationality alleging flaws in the procedure. With that, he lost control of the channel and was went into exile. His case was filed with the Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (Inter-American Commission on Human Rights). Upon the fall of the dictatorship, he recovered his nationality, regained control of the company and the state made a payment of 20 million soles as compensation. He is a friend of former President Alan García Pérez. In September of 2013, Ivcher sold his shares in the channel to Enfoca, of Jesus Zamora.
