Telefe

Televisión Federal S.A., better known as Telefé, is an Argentine television network. Formerly known as Canal Once (Channel 11), a state-run network, it was privatised and established as Telefe in 1989, when [Grupo Atlántida] (80%) and News Corporation (20%) took over the channel. Since 1997, it is owned by Telefónica.

The station is currently the most watched television station in Argentina, with daily cooking shows and telenovelas such as Amor en Custodia and Pasión de Gavilanes, as well as Susana Giménez's variety show. Telefe also produced popular telenovelas such as "Chiquititas" and "Los Roldán", and it produces a reality show, "Cámara en Mano". It was also responsible for the three editions of the Argentine versions of Big Brother (Gran Hermano) and Star Academy (Operación Triunfo).

As of 2006, also the popular show CQC will air on Telefe.

Also, due to the success of its adaptation of the sitcom The Nanny, other famous American sitcoms such as Who's the Boss? and Married... with Children have been localized.
