Canal 12 de Córdoba, better known as El Doce, is an Argentine over-the-air television station affiliated with El Trece that broadcasts from the city of Córdoba. The station can be seen in a large part of Córdoba Province and in part of Catamarca Province through repeater stations. It is mainly operated by Grupo Clarín through Artear.
History
The license started regular broadcasting on April 18, 1960, as LU1-H TV Canal 13 de Córdoba. It was founded by Telecor S.A.C.I. and was the first television station to be founded in the Argentine interior, the second overall nationwide and the first privately-owned station in Argentina.[1][2][3]
On October 10, 1963, by means of Decree 9088 (published on December 18), the National Executive Branch granted Telecor S.A.C.I. a move to transfer from channel 12 to channel 13 still on the VHF band; as an effect, its callsign was changed from LU1-H to LV 81 TV.[1][4]
On April 18, 1967, Canal 12 installed its first relay station, located atop La Rosilla Mountain.[5] On August 3, 1970, after verifying that the repeater facilities function correctly, the National Radio and Television Authority authorized its regular operation.[6]
In 1971, the first live link with Buenos Aires was carried out when broadcasting the news service(Telenoche) from Canal 13.[1]
On April 1, 1980, Canal 12 started broadcasting color programming experimentally.[1]
On November 12, 1982, through Decree 1207 (published on November 17), the National Executive Branch renewed the license granted to Channel 12.[7]
In November 1987, the then-governor of Catamarca Province, Vicente Saadi, ordered to take by force Channel 11, the repeater that Channel 12 had in the Sierra de Ancasti. The seizure occurred on the 12th of the same month; The repeater station was used to broadcast the programming of the public radio station Catamarca Televisora Color (CTC) at night. The intervention of the frequency caused a conflict between the provincial government and Telecor, licensee of Channel 12 of Córdoba.[8][9] In 1989, CTC had ceased carrying its own programming.[10] In 1990, the government of Catamarca (at the time under the management of Ramón Saadi) and Telecor sealed an agreement (which was ratified by means of Provincial Decree 2082/90) in which the former recognized the latter the usage of the channel 11 frequency and the facilities used to relay Canal 12's schedule. In addition, it was agreed that the province would bear the expenses caused by the litigation.[8][9]
