On 25 May 2010 the newspaper launched an online television channel, «El Mostrador TV»,^[2] that was transmitted for a digital television signal on channels 24, 26, 27, 28, 30 and 33^[3] within the ring of Américo Vespucio Avenue in Santiago.^[4]

Incidents

On 19 March 2010 El Mostrador published a report that linked the newly appointed governor of Bío Bío Province, José Miguel Steigmeier, with the inner circle of Paul Schäfer, ex-leader of Villa Baviera, and with supposed participation in money laundering.^[7] Faced with this information, Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter summoned Steigmeier to La Moneda Palace that same day, deciding after the meeting to revoke his appointment to govern Bío Bío.^[8]

On 22 April 2010 Mirko Macari left the directorship of El Mostrador due to his appointment as director of the newspaper La Nación.^[9] However, pressures from the Independent Democratic Union (UDI) made the government of Sebastián Piñera reverse the decision the following day.^[10] The return of Macari to his original post at El Mostrador was made public through a press release from the electronic medium published on 23 April, under the consideration that the previous withdrawal was a voluntary act and that the journalist satisfied "fully the standards of pluralism, independence, and quality that characterize El Mostrador."^[11]
