ELONCE

ELONCE, historically identified as Canal 11 Paraná or Channel 11, is an Argentine over-the-air television station licensed to Paraná, the capital of Entre Ríos Province. The station began broadcasting on 2 May 1992 under the direction of founder Edgardo Sánchez. It is operated by Federal Comunicaciones S.A. and has developed as a regional broadcaster rather than as a Buenos Aires network affiliate. The station's coverage is centered on Paraná and extends across much of Entre Ríos Province. Its programming profile is predominantly local, giving it a distinct place in the province's media system. Unlike many Argentine provincial stations that relay substantial output from national networks based in Buenos Aires, ELONCE has generally produced or commissioned programming for its local audience. The station was described as independent in the early 2010s, with only limited exceptions such as occasional broadcasts of American films. ELONCE's local orientation has also supported public-service and community activities. In 2004, it launched the Once Por Todos campaign, an initiative intended to assist people experiencing poverty and material hardship. The campaign became one of the station's identifiable civic activities. A later edition scheduled for 2025 was reported as cancelled in November of that year without an explanation being provided in the available reference material. The station has also carried selected externally supplied programming. In 2009, it received a permit to broadcast Fútbol para todos, the Argentine football television program. This arrangement added nationally significant sports content to a schedule otherwise characterized by local production and regional relevance. In November 2023, ELONCE was added to Rocstar, expanding its availability through that platform. The station also maintains an online presence through elonce.com, which extends the brand beyond its terrestrial television signal. Available reference material does not identify a publicly traded parent, a broader corporate group, detailed ownership structure, or named current executives. ELONCE is therefore best understood as a regional Argentine television-station brand whose identity is built around local news, programming, community engagement, and service to audiences in Entre Ríos.

ELONCE is a television station licensed to Paraná in Argentina's Entre Ríos Province. The station began broadcasting on 2 May 1992, founded by Edgardo Sánchez. From its launch, it served as a regional broadcaster for Paraná and surrounding areas rather than as a national television network. Its operating model has been notably local. Most of the station's schedule has consisted of programming made for or focused on the regional audience, and the station has generally operated independently from the principal Buenos Aires-based networks. This local emphasis distinguishes ELONCE from stations whose schedules are dominated by relayed national programming. Reference material describing the station's position in 2011 noted that occasional American films were among the few identifiable exceptions to its predominantly local output. In 2004, ELONCE expanded its public-facing role by starting Once Por Todos, a campaign designed to help people living in poverty or facing material need. The initiative linked the television station's audience reach with charitable and community-support activity. It became an important part of the brand's public identity, although the available material does not provide detailed figures for donations, beneficiaries, or participating organizations. The 2025 edition was subsequently reported cancelled in November 2025 without an explanation in the cited account. The station also carried selected national programming. In 2009, it was granted a permit to air Fútbol para todos, an Argentine football program. This represented an addition of nationally prominent sports content to a schedule otherwise centered on regional broadcasting. ELONCE continued to extend its distribution in the digital and platform environment. In November 2023, it was added to Rocstar. Its website, elonce.com, provides an online outlet for the brand and complements its television operation. The station is operated by Federal Comunicaciones S.A.; the available reference material does not establish a separate public parent company, listed status, or detailed ownership chain. Current executive information is also not identified. On the available evidence, ELONCE remains an active regional television brand with a strong local-programming orientation and a history of community engagement in Entre Ríos.
