Vive was launched in October 2006 under the name Vive! Deportes, which broadcast the historic victory of
Las Marcianitas in the 2006 Women’s Roller Hockey World Championship. This channel also briefly operated a second signal called SED (Sala de Eventos Deportivos), which was created on February 4, 2010. During its seven years as a sports channel, it also included debate and
talk shows in its programming, such as the late-night show
Síganme Los Buenos, as well as sports-focused programs like news segments and discussions. In March 2014, it broadcast the 10th South American Games held in Santiago, together with CDO, through an agreement with
VTR and the
Chilean Olympic Committee. On January 17, 2014, VTR confirmed the restructuring of its programming schedule and canceled all programs dedicated to sports news. At the time, VTR’s programming manager, Francisco Guijón, announced that the provider wished to focus on thematic channels and not compete with larger sports channels. In 2021, the debate show
Sin filtros was released, which rose to prominence during the
2022 constitutional referendum campaign, with a more confrontational profile among panels representing both right and left-leaning viewpoints, the latter lost in the plebiscite with 38% of the vote, compared to the 62% obtained by the «Reject» option. In 2024, Julio César ended his late-night show Síganme Los Buenos. However, in 2025, he launched his new program called
Yuly, where he, now algonside
José Antonio Neme, has continued interviewing figures from
politics,
sports, and
entertainment, but in a televised
podcast format. ==See also==
