Andina de Radiodifusión y Television, shortly known as ATV, is a Peruvian television network founded in 1969. After unsuccessful attempts to run it in the early 1970s and subsequent political turmoil in Peru the station was closed. Its revival took place in 1983 and since then the station has quickly gained a Peruvian audience by showing foreign films and broadcasting dramas, usually from Brazil. Until 1991 the station was known as Canal 9 (Channel 9), after its Lima, Peru VHF frequency.
The station is among the most watched television stations in Peru, often obtaining high ratings from past TV shows such as Magaly TV, a magazine and gossip show hosted by Peruvian journalist Magaly Medina.
ATV has had the Peruvian broadcasting rights to the FIFA World Cup 2010, as well as the last Olympic games and the European Championship. In 2014, ATV HD has announced it will broadcasting the full coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2014 in full HD to its viewers.
