Criticisms and controversies

Special program to Emilio Disi

In March 2018, during the death of the Argentine actor and comedian Emilio Disi at the age of 75, after the news of his death was known, the channel wanted to promote a special with the best moments of the actor with Susana Giménez. After criticism and controversy, the channel could not broadcast it.[7]

Affiliates

The network currently has eight owned-and-operated stations and current affiliation agreements with other television stations.

Owned and operated

All of the owned-and-operated stations (except LRK458 TV) joined Telefe in April 1998, after Editorial Atlántida acquired a majority stake of the former Televisoras Provinciales.[8] LRK458 TV (now known as Telefe Tucumán) was the last to join Telefe in March 2000.[9]
