Canal 2 Posadas is a television broadcaster located in Posadas, Misiones, Argentina, providing service to the province as well as adjacent areas in Paraguay and Brazil. The channel is owned by La Verdad SRL and has been affiliated with Telefe since 2011.

History

The station commenced operations on January 1, 2007, following its establishment the previous year by governor Carlos Rovira, funded through a multi-million peso budget that lacked clear disclosure.

At its inception, Canal 2 transmitted programming from Televisión Pública, Canal Encuentro, and Telesur. In April 2007, Cablevisión Posadas incorporated Canal 2 into its offerings, substituting Crónica TV, a change likely influenced by negotiations related to increased cable transmission fees.

On December 1, 2011, Canal 2 formalized its affiliation with Telefe. The station enhanced its reach in 2019 by joining the ARSAT-2 satellite network to broaden both provincial and digital terrestrial coverage. High-definition broadcasts were introduced in mid-2022, followed by the launch of TDA transmissions on July 5, 2023 (channel 35.1).

The expansion of digital terrestrial television (DTT) coverage continued in 2024 with new transmissions to Oberá (channel 19.1), Puerto Iguazú (channel 19.1), and Eldorado (channel 32.1).

Programación

In addition to Telefe’s programming, Canal 2 features the news program NC2 Noticias de la calle airing weekdays at 13:00 and 20:00, the morning show La tele con vos, and the music series La ofrenda.

Relayers

To increase its audience reach throughout Misiones Province, Canal 2 operates a network of 11 relay transmitters.
