Calle 7

Calle 7 was a Chilean television program, shown by TVN from Monday to Friday at 6 pm. It was last co-hosted by Alain Soulat and Lucia Covarrubias, and involved two teams of young adult contenders participating in unique challenges and performing arts to win a top prize at the end of the competition.

Early months
Calle 7 began airing on January 12, 2009, at 6 pm and was presented by Martín Cárcamo and Karen Doggenweiler. The program was aimed at youth and family area where a group of participants known as "Team Calle 7" danced and competed in several tests, where the winning team gave $100,000 Chilean pesos to a viewer. The changes began with the exit of Karen Doggenweiler, on February 20, 2009, because she went to host of another project at the station called, Todos a Coro, an adaptation to the British program from BBC, Last Choir Standing, that began airing in March 2009. However changes to the program became clear when the result on the ratings came out. The level of audience for Calle 7 was about 8 points, low compared to competition. Rumors of cancellation where everywhere, but lately ratings have shown Calle 7 beating the competition. In this re-formatting of the program, "the Team Calle 7" was divided in two teams (yellow and red) and competed in different contests to win points. The winners won great prizes, while the losers were suffering hard challenges.
