Canal Once, the first public educational television channel in Mexico, was established on March 2, 1959. Owned by the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), it has become a vital resource for quality educational content across the nation. With its flagship station located in Mexico City, Canal Once broadcasts through nearly 40 transmitters, ensuring that its programming reaches a wide audience.
The channel is renowned for its diverse range of shows, which include news, children's programming, and cultural content focused on science, art, and technology. Notably, it operates a dedicated children's channel called Once Niños, catering specifically to younger viewers. This commitment to education and culture underscores Canal Once's role as a significant contributor to public broadcasting in Mexico.
Canal Once is not just limited to national broadcasting; it also offers an international feed available in the United States and Venezuela. This accessibility allows it to serve the Mexican diaspora and promote Mexican culture beyond its borders.
Throughout its history, Canal Once has adapted to technological changes, transitioning to digital broadcasting in 2015. This evolution reflects its dedication to providing high-quality content while embracing modern viewing habits.
