Canal 13 , formerly Corporación de Televisión de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UCTV) ("Television Company of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile"), is the second oldest television station in Chile . The broadcast began on August 21, 1959 .

The station was solely owned by the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile until 2010 and has since been operated jointly with the private Grupo Luksic , the group of the Chilean billionaire Andrónico Luksic Craig , which took over the majority of the station's shares with 67% in November 2010. Not least because of the influence of the Catholic Church , the station is rated as conservative . In November 2017 it was announced that the university would also sell its remaining shares to Luksic, who would take over 100% of the station.
