Canal 9 and the end of the signal
In 1994, Canal 8 UCV TV changed from channel 8 to channel 9, changing its name to Canal 9 UCV TV as a result.[2] Reeling from the loss of viewers and trouble securing advertisers, the station quickly collapsed. Canal 9's local news program was canceled months before the station ceased broadcasting local productions on January 15, 1995, but the station never went off air, filling an eight-hour broadcast day with videos of La Serena and Coquimbo and timeshifted UCV TV programs. The station continued to air UCV TV shows, as well as some limited local programming, through 2002, under several different managers.
From 2002 to 2003, a cable channel called Thema Televisión rented the Canal 9 studio, and Canal 9 aired some of Thema's programming. The end came in 2002 when the station opted to close, in large part because UCV Televisión was about to install its own transmitter in the Coquimbo Region as part of its national expansion plan; it signed on in 2003.
