Background

Universidad de Chile Televisión was originally launched in 1960 as Canal 9 (Channel 9), as a project of the University of Chile, being the third channel to be launched in Chile. Near 1978, the channel gained color equipment and started broadcasting in color like the rest of the channels. In 1980, the channel frequency was changed from 9 to 11, which resulted in a name change to Teleonce (and by 1983, Universidad de Chile Televisión). In 1991, the channel was rebranded in 1993 as Red de Televisión Universidad de Chile as a plan to expand the channel.

Logo (1981-1991)


Visuals: The ID's mostly consist in the Teleonce logo (a stylised screen with the number "11" inside) being animated in different ways.

Variants:

  • Blue 11: On a black background, there is a white colored Teleonce logo. A blue light in the background moves behind it, and the text "Universidad de Chile" ("University of Chile" in Spanish) appears below.
  • Neon 11: On a purplish background with several stars, several pixelated lines appear and flicker, gradually being revealed to be an outline of the Teleonce logo. The logo starts rotating until it stops at the bottom-left corner of the screen, and the text "Universidad de Chile Televisión" flips in above it.
  • Golden 11: There's two versions. Unknown
  • Yellow 11: On a space background, there is a spinning cube with a sky background inside. When it comes close enough and the background takes over the screen, the lower half of the background fades to a rapidly moving sea. A 3D version of the Teleonce logo in yellow rotates in and places itself on the sky at a slight angle, and the words "Universidad de Chile Televisión" fly in and settle below it.
  • Metallic 11: There are two versions:
    • On a black background with a purple line, a 3D Teleonce logo in yellow flies in, rotating a bit, and settles in the center. A flash then moves to the left and forms the words "Universidad de Chile", and ""Televisión" appears below them.
    • Another version features the same text but bolder and in Arial.

Technique: Depends of the variant. Either 2D or 3D animation.

Audio:

  • Blue 11: An excerpt of the channel's theme at the time, with an announcer saying "Corporación de Televisión de la Universidad de Chile, Teleonce. El canal de la chilenidad." ("Television Corporation of the University of Chile, Teleonce. The Chilean channel.").
  • Neon 11: A bell tune with the aforementioned announcer spiel.
  • Golden 11: An almost ominous synth theme that was also used on a sign-off at the time. The second version uses a moog-synth version of the University of Chile's anthem.
  • Yellow 11: Unknown
  • Metallic 11: One of three synth versions of the University of Chile's anthem.
