National Television of Chile (TVN) (Televisión Nacional de Chile) is Chile's state-owned television station. Its first broadcast was on 1969. It is owned, but not funded, by the state, and functions independently from it; a rare case of public television in South America. A board of directors appointed by the President of the Republic and ratified by the Senate oversee control of the station. The members of the board generally follow the same political composition as the current Congress, with a Concertación (the government coalition) majority and an Alianza (right-wing opposition alliance) minority.
