2003
Violent struggle for control of the network
Rival administrators attempted to control Panamericana's principal Lima facilities. The confrontation involved thrown furniture, fire extinguishers, and paint, and the broadcaster was subsequently off the air for eight days after its license was temporarily revoked.
2001
Vladivideos and alleged political influence
The exposure of secretly recorded videos involving Vladimiro Montesinos created a major crisis for Panamericana. Ernesto Schütz Landázuri appeared receiving money in a context linked to support for Alberto Fujimori's reelection, while Genaro Delgado Parker was shown seeking government support in connection with the proposed sale of Tele 2000. The disclosures led to legal disputes, Schütz's departure from Peru, and a change in the network's administration.
