More than 100 layoffs, low earnings and hearing the signal, questioning the management and direction of the channel and a permanent programming criticism were made during 2015 that marked the course of the signal. The challenge: to reformulate the Long TVN Act.
In 2015 TVN fell back into the red. This is because in November the channel reported that from January to September has a deficit of 18 million pesos, but the data is not new. Since early years, the signal began to diminish in profits as well as audience.
The responsibilities point to Carmen Gloria Lopez, executive director of the signal. This is because as workers, Lopez could not overcome the crisis.
“There must come to know people manage the business. There is a problem management record and are not for someone to come to tell us that things have been bad for the external crisis. All of that is an excuse, because if the other channels are being funded, why not us? “Said John Cardemil, president of Union No. 2 of TVN.
In 2015 TVN suffered over 100 layoffs to what the term of the 20 workers joined regions, which meant that the second regional edition on local news, as well as some spaces that were issued in the provinces were eliminated.
” This needs to be fixed now. People must come to know to manage the channel, who knows television. Almost every month we had decreased workers, but according to what we discussed with the authorities of the channel, the layoffs have not stopped yet, “he said Cardemil.
According to Juan Carlos Werner, academic University of Chile, the background of the crisis TVN is also linked to that “is a channel with a public mission, but it has to finance itself.”
In this sense Werner indicated that TVN has been unable reconcile the concepts of public television and entertaining television: “For the last time they made an attempt to change its programming. It is even the most emits cultural programming, but they have failed to understand that they have to program a massive and compelling content. “
During 2015 the channel also lowered its revenue from advertising. So much so that during the year it was $ 28.672 million, ie 45 percent less than the $ 52,198 million recorded between January and September last year.
However, beyond the specific questions all Critics point to a need to rethink the Long TVN Act establishing funding.
“It is unfortunate that has not yet been formulated TVN Act because one of the program objectives presented by this government, when were in election period was strengthening TVN, to provide it with the tools that allow him to be the engine of technological and audiovisual convergence “recalled Lorena Donoso, lawyer Media Observatory Fucatel.
In this line The specialist said that a threatened resources can not risk channel in their programming. Hence the need to rethink the organic TVN.
From the Executive, meanwhile, said the issue is being discussed. Especially when it is considering the draft Education Channel and Cultural to be administered by TVN.
“It’s a big question why no reformulated Act TVN, for now I think that efforts are focused on making the public talk radio that President Michelle Bachelet announced, “said Werner
Meanwhile, since workers say they are determined.” We want to meet with Minister Diaz as soon as possible to change this situation. We can not go on. The state should provide solutions for the channel. They must work on two opposite: placing the relevant authorities and worrying about the law to determine a way of definitive financing channel, “he said Cardemil
