ESTV (Canal 11)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ESTV (Canal 11) is a Nicaraguan cable TV channel broadcasting from the city of Managua. The channel is owned by the national cable TV operator Estesa. The channel began broadcasting in 2005.
Despite being a newcomer in the Nicaraguan TV market, it has a broad audience thanks to its nationalistic approach and mass production of local TV shows. The channel's motto is El canal del orgullo nicaragüense (The channel of the Nicaraguan pride).
The most popular local TV shows are: De sol a sol (morning show), La revista del mediodia (variety show), Dónde y cuándo (investigative journalism), Senderos y destinos (tourism, featuring in every show a tourist spot in the country), ESTV Musical (daily music video show), En concierto (music concerts), Lo Nuestro (show featuring only national artists, interviews and music videos), Éxitos empresariales (success stories of Nicaraguan companies), Deportes 11 (sports), Sexto Sentido (popular youth TV serie) and live broadcasts of national cultural events, such as local festivities.
In 2005, ESTV made history as the first channel in Central America to produce and broadcast a reality show; En Otra Onda.
