Television in Honduras is a diverse medium that includes multiple national free-to-air networks, regional stations, and subscription services. The first transmissions began on September 15, 1959, with “Canal 5, El Líder“, which was the first national television channel to broadcast in black and white . Color television was later inaugurated by Canal 5 in 1973, and the first live broadcast was conducted by Canal 6 from San Pedro Sula in 1981 . Currently, open television covers 70% of the national territory using both VHF and UHF spectrums .
On air, the television landscape is dominated by several major national networks. “Canal 5“ (Corporación Televicentro) operates as a generalist channel with the slogan "El líder" and has been on air since 1959 . It continues to broadcast popular programs such as Las Mañanas del 5 and the late-night talk show El Cinco de Noche hosted by Erik Chavarría . “Canal 11“ is another prominent national network, operating since 1996 with the slogan "Solo por el once" . Its programming includes a variety of podcasts, health programs, and entertainment shows .
Other major national broadcasters include “VTV“ (operating since 1985), “CBC Canal 6“ (owned by the Nodarse family), and “Azteca Honduras“ (operated by TV Azteca Mexico since 2013), which runs news programs such as “Hechos Estelar“ at 8:00 PM and “Hechos Meridiano“ at midday . The state-owned “Televisión Nacional de Honduras (TNH) Canal 8“ also provides national coverage .
In addition to national networks, Honduras has a robust system of regional and local channels. Regional broadcasters include “TVH Internacional“, “Sulavisión“, “Teleprogreso“ (originating in El Progreso), and “TeleDanlí“ on Canal 9 . Local channels are often associated with specific cities, such as “Guayape TV“ (Juticalpa), “CNC Canal 24“ (Campamento), and “45 TV“ (Catacamas) .
The country has also transitioned to digital broadcasting, adopting the “ISDB-T“ standard after initially testing ATSC . Several channels now broadcast in high definition, including “Activa TV HD“ (1080p on channel 43.1 in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula) and “CampusTV“ (1080i on channels 59.1) . In cities like Choluteca, digital channels include “Choluteca TV“ (39.2), “Suyapa TV“ (35.1), and “Choluvision 27“ (27.1) .
