from its systems to make way for a Christian channel. Copesa and failed 3TV project In July 2010, Álvaro Saieh, the 20 percent owner of VTR and media conglomerate Copesa, acquired Más Canal for $2.5 million. It was the second major media acquisition for Saieh that year, as he had only bought the VTR stake in January; he also owned La Tercera newspaper and several radio stations. In 2013, Copesa made preparations to relaunch channel 22, which it had renamed "Más Visión", as "3TV", with national ambitions. It had bought several television station concessions outside of Santiago to support this launch, while 150 employees had been hired and studios were being prepared. However, financial problems within the group caused the venture to be scuttled before it signed on the air. CNC Medios ownership In 2016, Copesa announced that it would sell most of its television station holdings to CNC Inversiones, an Antofagasta-based group headed by Marcelo Mendizábal; this included Canal 22 and channels 21 in Temuco and 35 in Concepción. On February 1, 2018, Canal 22 changed its name to the present Televisión Regional de Chile and began broadcasting digitally on channel 14.1.
