Supercanal reached an agreement with Telecable Nacional last week. The agreement was signed on Saturday, 6 May at the Telecable Nacional offices. The new UHF channel will now be able to be viewed by subscribers to the largest cable TV network of Santo Domingo. The agreement establishes that Supercanal will be seen on Telecable Nacional’s Channel 36 up until 22 May, and as of that day it will be assigned Channel 33. Supercanal transmits on UHF as Channel 33, and wanted that channel on Telecable. Telecable had offered it Channel 54, giving way to an impasse. Supercanal’s most popular program is Sunday variety show, El Gordo de la Semana, a Freddy Beras Goico production. To reach the agreement, Beras Goico and Supercanal president Frank Jorge Elías negotiated with José Florentino, president of Telecable and Miguel Calzada of Caribbean Traveling Network, a travel video channel that transmitted on the desired Channel 33. CTN will pass on to Channel 30 as of May 22.
