Ecuavisa Live

On Ecuavisa, news leads the schedule. Televistazo, on air since the channel's launch in 1967, has several editions a day with segments for Quito and Guayaquil, while interviews and analysis come from Contacto Directo and Políticamente Correcto. On Sundays, Esta semana and Panorama Internacional sum up the week at home and abroad.

Mornings belong to the magazine show En Contacto, with variety and entertainment, and the celebrity world gets its turn in Los Hackers del Espectáculo and the international segment Entre flashes. Sport has Piso 17, and Ecuadorian fiction is a house tradition: series and telenovelas such as El Cholito, 3 Familias, La Trinity and Sharon la Hechicera have filled the channel's prime time with humour and very Ecuadorian characters.

Ecuavisa is a free-to-air network from Ecuador, on channel 2 in Guayaquil and channel 8 in Quito, owned by the Alvarado Roca group. It is a good pick for anyone who wants news, entertainment and humour from Ecuador in Spanish, and for Ecuadorians abroad who miss the TV from home.
