NCTV online - Television live

NCTV Live Stream

NCTV is a Chilean news channel broadcasting from Santiago, now carrying its output under the inicia+ brand through its own online platform around the clock.

From NCTV to inicia+

The channel's grid combines news editions with talk programmes and general programming in Spanish, made for the Chilean audience that watches online. The rebranding reflects a wider shift in Chilean media: channels that once relied on a cable position now reach viewers through their own streams and social platforms.

Chilean news in a crowded market

Chile has three established free-to-air news operations and several subscription channels, so an independent service competes on subject matter and speed rather than on scale. Its advantage is the ability to cover stories the large newsrooms treat briefly.

Santiago as the base

Santiago holds half the country's population and almost all of its media production, which makes it the natural base for a national news service. Coverage of the regions comes from stringers and occasional trips, and the further south or north the story, the thinner the coverage becomes.
