Canal de la Ciudad online - Television live

Canal de la Ciudad Live Stream

Canal de la Ciudad is the television channel of the Buenos Aires city government. It launched on 25 July 2003 and broadcasts around the clock; in 2026 the city awarded its five-year operating management contract to CALE Group Media, with ownership and oversight remaining with the city.

Buenos Aires on screen

The channel covers the capital's public life, culture, education, arts, community events and city services, with a catalogue of shows alongside live programming. A municipal channel is judged on whether it makes local government visible, and the city's budget, works and services supply most of its material.

Los Siete Locos

Los Siete Locos is a cultural interview programme that moved to Canal de la Ciudad in 2024 after a run on Argentina's public television. The journalist and writer Cristina Mucci created and hosts it, with conversations with writers and other cultural figures.

A city that produces its own culture

Buenos Aires has an unusually dense cultural life — theatres, bookshops, film schools and music venues in almost every neighbourhood — and a city channel draws on it for programming that a national network would treat as niche.

The contract model

Outsourcing operations while keeping ownership is a common arrangement for public channels in Argentina, and it lets a city keep editorial control while a media company supplies the production capacity.
