Canal 3 Formosa is a television station broadcasting on channel 3 in Formosa, Formosa Province, Argentina, owned by the provincial government.
History
The station started broadcasting on 10 June 1987 alongside sister outlet Radio Tropical; initially, the station was known as Formosa Televisora Color (FTC). FTC had initial technical support from engineer Ramón Rosa Barrionuevo, who had established Channel 11 in 1978 and initially operated from a former government office.[1][2] Since the beginning, the station was owned by the provincial government, founded under the control of Floro Borgado.[3]
As of 2010, FTC was relaying TV Pública, the national television network, and was in the process of upgrading its technological capabilities, eyeing the Media Law.[4]
By 2014, it, Canal 11 Lapacho and newspaper La Mañana were under the influence of Gildo Insfrán, the governor of the time.[5]
Technical information
As of June 2024, the station still has no satellite link to enable province-wide coverage.[6]
