Canal 5 San Luis, operating under the commercial name Telesol Canal 5, is a television broadcaster based in San Juan, Argentina and owned by Andina SRL. This channel airs content from the Telefe network.
History
The station commenced broadcasting on December 10, 1996, with Gastón Gioja at the helm. In 2004, it moved to a new location on Calle Santa Fe, which remained its base until January 10, 2025.
High-definition transmissions began on August 19, 2015, while digital terrestrial broadcasts on channel 36.1 started in May 2022.
After the passing of Alberto Pérez, the owner of the Santa Fe Street property, on December 19, 2024, the station encountered operational uncertainty and initiated relocation efforts. Currently, it operates from shared facilities with AM 1020 and Diario El Zonda. The new studio, officially inaugurated on March 12, is regarded as the most advanced in terms of technology within San Juan and the broader Cuyo area.
Programación
In addition to retransmitting Telefe programming, the channel features prominent local shows including Telesol Noticias (news editions at 13:00 and 20:00), Amanecidos (a morning magazine program), De sobremesa (a general interest show), and La ventana (an evening program).
