UCV TV (also known as UCV Televisión) is a Chilean free-to-air television channel operating in the cultural and general entertainment format. The primary language of broadcasting is Spanish. The channel is the direct heir of the historic “UCV Televisión“, which conducted the first wireless television broadcast in Chile on October 5, 1957, making it the oldest television station in the country . After a major rebranding of the original UCV channel in 2018, the current “UCV TV“ was launched on April 12, 2018, by the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV) as a dedicated cultural channel on digital terrestrial television . It operates under the slogan "Desde 1957 junto a la familia chilena" ("Since 1957 with the Chilean family") . The channel is headquartered in Viña del Mar, Valparaíso Region, with studios located at Agua Santa 2455 .
