A special announced for 7 p.m.

TV Pública announced a three-hour live special for Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 7 p.m., titled “75 Años, toda la vida,” marking the 75th anniversary of the birth of Argentine television.

According to the broadcaster’s prior official announcement, the opening of the program was expected to include the return of the historic Canal 7 name and the presentation of a new graphic identity for the public channel.

The historical context of the Canal 7 name

The anniversary takes October 17, 1951, as its starting point, a date that institutional sources identify as the first official television broadcast in Argentina. That timeline links the beginning of local television with the history of the public channel.

The broadcaster said the special would include archive material, memories, humor, tributes and music. It also said the celebration would include tributes to Jaime Yankelevich and Juan Alberto Badía, as well as the inauguration of a Paseo de las Estrellas on the Avenida Figueroa Alcorta sidewalk.
