Ten is a Spanishfree-to-air television channel run byTen Media, a property ofGrupo Secuoya.
In October 2015, Grupo Secuoya was announced as one of the winning companies of a digital terrestrial television license.[1] Subsequently, the group announced that the television channel would have a general family programming.[2]
On December 24, 2015, the test signals of the channel began, which was called 10.[3] On February 18, 2016, the official name of the channel was announced: "Ten", in addition to the start of transmission for April 21, 2016.
Between April 2016 and April 2018, the channel maintained its own programming, to be later withdrawn; as of that point, it only broadcast five programs, in addition to home shopping spaces and tarot programs,[4][5] as a result of the poor financial results derived from a low audience.[6]
On October 30, 2018, an agreement between Grupo Secuoya andMediapro for the management of the channel's programming was announced, in order to seek an improvement in viewing rates.[7]
In February 2020, the channel suffered a crisis in viewer numbers due to the change in broadcast frequencies, losing half of its daily viewers. At the end of 2020, the channel began another process of remodeling its programming when it decided to bet on American television series asMonk orHouse, and Hispanic talk shows likeCaso Cerrado, in addition to eliminating the tarot and home shopping-based programming.
Ten's programming is entertainment-based. In particular,reality shows anddocudramas are broadcast, in addition to some television series asLaw & Order: UK,Law & Order: Criminal Intent andIn Ice Cold Blood.[8]
