Chile Senate Confirms Sabat and Huichalaf to TVN Board for Eight-Year Terms

Chile's Senate confirmed Marcela Sabat and Pedro Huichalaf as new directors of state broadcaster TVN for an eight-year term, with 40 votes in favor and 2 abstentions. The appointments extend political influence over the public media board, continuing a pattern of legislative involvement in TVN governance. The long tenure and political affiliations of the appointees may affect editorial independence, though immediate market impact is minimal.
