History
Canal Luz TV signal started streaming through a cable system called JPM in the city of Rosario in 1992. It extended to an area of 10 blocks around its Head end. This cable system included some international channels such as: TVE, TNT, Spanish CNN, Vasco Channel, and some local ones: Rural Channel, ATC, Channel 5 Rosario and Channel 3 Rosario. It also included an own signal – Channel 4, which came to be called Canal Luz.

Until 1994 Canal Luz produced 6-hours-programmes contained in 2 super VHS cassettes, 2 hours 50 minutes long each, which were distributed to different emerging cable systems in Argentina and also abroad ( Bolivia, Chile and Ecuador). Programmes such as: Club 700, La Hora de Poder ( Juan Carlos Ortiz), Carlos Annacondia crusades, Juntos por la Vida ( Marfa Cabrera), conferences, Billy Graham¨s films, musicals and some other local productions were part of Canal Luz grid. In 1994 Canal Luz signal came to be known regionally, entering different cable systems in the city of Rosario and also in other nearby cities in Argentina ( Victoria, Entre Ríos and in the city of Córdoba) In October 2001, Canal Luz signal was raised to Nahuel 1 Satellite from its satellite transmission plant in the city of Rosario, becoming the first digital satellite uplink in the city and the second in the country. Nahuel 1 satellite footprint covered a big area of the American continent so Canal Luz TV signal became known internationally and distributed to small and big cities in Argentina and South America. In 2004 Canal Luz ended the contract with Nahuel 1 and started operating through Hispasat Satellite. Hispassat Satellite footprint covers the whole American continent. In 2011 Canal Luz signal became HD (High Definition) and it was raised to Hispassat Satellite HD and SD simultaneously. From 2016 to 2020 Canal Luz has been distributed by Direct TV in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Peru and by Cablevision Argentina in its OTT Flow system grid.
