- Coverage says the transaction would end the Schütz family’s roughly 95% stake, closing a long era for the broadcaster.
- Financial terms have not been disclosed, and the station’s legacy liabilities exceeded S/117 million, with portions later deemed unenforceable by the Constitutional Court in 2013–2014.
- Reports describe Pflücker, founder of Minera Paltarumi, as the lead financier and veteran producer Susana Umbert as the content partner, building on her existing production work with the channel.
