Chilevisión or CHV is the third oldest television channel in Chile. Formerly called Teleonce (Universidad de Chile Televisión) and RTU (Red de Televisión de la Universidad de Chile), this TV station was owned by Universidad de Chile, a Chilean national university. This educational institution sold an important percentage of its TV channel to Venevisión, changing its name to Chilevisión.
