History

[edit]

Net TV was conceived by Grupo Perfil's founder Jorge Fontevecchia, with the idea to expand the publishing company into audiovisual media. In October 2015, Fontevecchia opened the company's new headquarters in theBarracasneighborhood of Buenos Aires, which were equipped with radio and television studios, and presented to theFederal Authority for Audiovisual Communication Services(AFSCA) a proposal to license new radio and television stations.[3]The original plan included AM and FM radio stations andmust carrydigital televisionnetworks. On September 25, 2015, the proposal was rejected by the AFSCA due to "flaws" in the documentation that was presented.[4]

In 2016, Perfil (together with its partner, local production company Kuarzo Entertainment Argentina) sought the licenses again, and finally obtained them forAM1190 kHz, FM 101.9 MHz and two digital television channels in the Buenos Aires area through theNational Communications Entity(ENACOM) resolutions 1107/16 and 1108/16 published on October 19, 2016, in theState Official Bulletingazette, to cover the area ofGreater Buenos Aires.This is how finally the Grupo Perfil obtained the license for Net TV ondigital channel27.2, Alfa TV on channel 21.1, and Bravo TV on channel 27.1 (these last two still continue with broadcast testing). Due to the nature of itsmust carrylicense, allcable televisionsystems must include it on their lineups.[5]
