Atacama Noticias Live Stream

Atacama Noticias is the regional news channel of Copiapó, in Chile's Atacama region, broadcasting on open channel 22.1 and online, covering the region's nine communes from Copiapó and Tierra Amarilla to Chañaral, Caldera, Vallenar and Huasco.

A region's newsroom

The channel carries bulletins from Copiapó and from the coastal and interior provinces, with reporting on the mining economy, regional government and community events. Its programming also includes interviews with local figures and coverage of the region's festivals and traditions.

Atacama and copper

Atacama is Chile's mining heartland: the copper mines around Copiapó and the lithium brine operations in the Salar de Atacama dominate the regional economy and the regional government's budget. Employment, water use and the royalties paid to the region are standing subjects for a local newsroom.

A desert region's distances

The region stretches more than 500 kilometres from the southern Huasco valley to the border with Antofagasta, and its towns are separated by desert. Reporting across it means long drives and a reliance on correspondents in each commune.

Distribution

Atacama Noticias broadcasts on channel 22.1, streams its signal online and publishes its coverage on its own portal and video channel.
