Telemetro is a television network headquartered in Panama City, Panama, with repeaters throughout the country. The station broadcasts in NTSC format and in Panama City also in DVB-T format. In 1996 Telemetro and RPC TV merged and formed Corporacion Medcom. Main programming consists on news, novelas, and local reality shows; it has a direct rivalry with TVN since it has similar programming. In 1981, Nicolas Gonzalez Revilla founded Telemetro as a metropolitan VHF scrambled pay-per-view channel, this format was not successful and was replaced with regular broadcasting, by 1983 reached Colon Province, by 1990 expanded to Central Provinces and finally in 1992, covered Chiriqui and Bocas del Toro to have national coverage. The channel in its first year was a subscription channel focused on movies and other cultural programming and broadcast for 6 hours a day without commercial breaks, but this wasn't profitable and thus it expanded its programming to include telenovelas and news shows and it also expanded its broadcasting hours to 20–24 hours a day and added commercial breaks.
