Etc...TV is a private owned cable TV channel of Chile that launched in early 1995 and is owned by Telefilms Ltda. Starting with a low budget, the channel was originally focused as a "miscelaneous" channel (the name of the channel, ETC, is based on Etcetera, as "a lot of things" or "other things") on children's programming and some North American Sitcoms in their first year, however, when the channel aired Sailor Moon and Saint Seiya in the middle of 1996, the station experiment a considerable increase of rating and their realized that Japanese Anime were an interesting genre. After the success of the first seasons of Sailor Moon and Saint Seiya, the channel began to obtain new Anime series and starts to be a fully oriented Anime channel and the only cable channel on the country that shows Anime with the local channel Chilevisión. Etc...TV is considering with Chilevisión as one of the precursors of Anime in Chile after a long time of absence of programs of the genre in the country since the 80's, like the UCV TV program Pipiripao. Their actual slogan is "Todo pasa por Etc..." (All Happens on Etc...)
