Developments: 2. Chile's National Television Council (CNTV) has issued several sanctions against private broadcasters for various regulatory violations. In early August, the CNTV fined La Red 500 monthly tax units (UTM) for failing to submit required financial statements for the 2025 fiscal year, noting the broadcaster's conduct was recurrent. Additionally, the Santiago Court of Appeals upheld an 80 UTM fine against Canal 13 for broadcasting sensationalist news footage of a shooting that exceeded informational needs. Later in the month, the regulator imposed a 160 UTM fine on the channel TV+ following transphobic remarks made during the program ‘Tal Cual’. The CNTV ruled that the comments constituted hate speech that “unjustifiably affected the fundamental rights of the person alluded to, disregarding the inherent personal dignity” of Deputy Emilia Schneider and Trinidad Cerda. The regulator rejected the channel's defense regarding freedom of expression, stating such rights are limited when they infringe upon the rights of others. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-28: Chilean regulator fines TV+ for transphobic remarks Chile's CNTV fined TV+ over 11.4 million pesos for transphobic remarks made by Patricia Maldonado against Emilia Schneider and Trinidad Cerda, ruling the content violated fundamental human dignity. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chilean-regulator-fines-tv-for-transphobic-remarks ### 2026-08-05: Chile's CNTV imposes fines on La Red and Canal 13 for financial and sensationalism breaches Chile's TV regulator CNTV fined La Red 500 UTM for delayed financial reporting and upheld an 80 UTM penalty on Canal 13 for sensationalist coverage during protected hours. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chiles-cntv-imposes-fines-on-la-red-and-canal-13-for-financial-and-sensationalism-breaches --- Cite as: Chilean media regulatory sanctions.
