==History==
The first proposals to install television in [[Easter Island]] date back to August 1970, when in the midst of the [[1970 Chilean presidential election]], Comité Adelanto Pascuense sent a letter to the three presidential candidates ([[Salvador Allende]], [[Jorge Alessandri]] and [[Radomiro Tomic]]) proposing ideas to develop in Rapa Nui, among them installing a local television station.<ref name="cartaschile">{{cite web|access-date=3 August 2024 |author=Foerster, Rolf |date=2021 |format=PDF |publisher=Biblioteca Nacional de Chile |title=Cartas Rapa Nui (siglos XIX y XX) |url=https://www.bibliotecanacional.gob.cl/sites/www.bibliotecanacional.gob.cl/files/2022-07/Cartas%20de%20Rapa%20Nui.pdf}}<!-- auto-translated from unknown (Italian or Spanish) by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
Later, on April 23, 1974, the Assessing Commission for Television in Easter Island (Comisión Asesora de la Televisión de Isla de Pascua) was created, composed of eight members: the departmental governor of Easter Island, the Port Captain and Military Chief, the mayor of the municipality, the head of the [[Mataveri Airport]], the head of Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones ([[Entel Chile]]), the executive director of [[Radio Manukena]], the manager of [[Empresa de Comercio Agrícola]] and the head of Oficina de Tierras y Bienes Nacionales, who were in charge of management in front of the authorities to install a television station in the island.<ref name="cartaschile"/><ref name="mensaje1975">{{cite web|access-date=2 December 2020 |author=Gobierno de Chile |title=Mensaje Presidencial 1974-1975 |url=http://www.bibliotecanacionaldigital.gob.cl/visor/BND:82401}}<!-- auto-translated from unknown (Italian or Spanish) by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
The local station of [[Televisión Nacional de Chile]] in Easter Island was inaugurated on January 24, 1975, during the visit held by the leader of the [[Government Junta of Chile (1973)|Government Junta of Chile]], [[Augusto Pinochet]], to [[Hanga Roa]], becoming the 54th station of the state broadcaster and initially broadcasting two hours a day on channel 7.<ref name="starbulletin"/> The entire schedule was pre-packaged and sent from Santiago on [[LAN Chile]] planes to the island;<ref name="moanarapu">{{cite web |url=http://opac.pucv.cl/pucv_txt/txt-4000/UCE4418_01.pdf |title=Rapa Nui y Televisión Nacional de Chile: Percepciones y expresiones del consumo mediático insular y étnico sobre el canal estatal |author=Rapu Sanhueza, Moana |format=PDF |publisher=Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso |date=2014 |location=Valparaíso |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240619093605/http://opac.pucv.cl/pucv_txt/txt-4000/UCE4418_01.pdf |archive-date=19 June 2024 }}</ref> the first programs seen were ''[[The Lucy Show]]'', ''[[The Pink Panther Show]]'' and ''[[Kung Fu (1972 TV series)|Kung Fu]]''.<ref name="starbulletin"/> With the aim of verifying the contents that would be seen on the Easter Island station, on April 4, 1975, the [[Ministry of Education (Chile)|Ministry of Education]] outlined a commission in charge of viewing the programs to air, as well as informing the [[National Television Council (Chile)|National Television Council]] on the accomplishment of the corresponding norms.<ref name="diariooficial1975">{{cite web |url=https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/media/1975/06/04/04000006-large.jpg |title=Designa ministros de fe para visualizar programas de televisión para la Isla de Pascua |author=Ministerio de Educación Pública |date=4 June 1975 |work=Diario Oficial de la República de Chile |page=6 |access-date=2 December 2020 |format=JPG |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231017215553/https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/media/1975/06/04/04000006-large.jpg |archive-date=17 October 2023 }}</ref>
In the 1970s and 1980s there were constant complaints and questionings on behalf of locals respecting the quality of the programming sent by TVN; this way, channel 7 in Hanga Roa also aired its own slots, aimed primarily at delivering information supplied by the Municipality and the Provincial Government.<ref name="cartaschile"/>
