LW81 Canal 7 de Santiago del Estero is an Argentine private, over-the-air television station broadcasting from Santiago del Estero as a Telefe affiliate. Founded in 1962, it was the second station in the country to start broadcasting in color (Canal 7 Argentina was the first). Currently, it shows most of the network's programs, aside from the weekend cartoons which are preempted as the station doesn't start weekend programming until noon. It also chooses not to show one or two primetime shows, instead showing local interest programs.
