Canal 11 is a nationwide television station in Honduras. It started broadcasting in November 1996 and it is a Grupo Continental company.

History

Canal 11 launched on November 11, 1996 (the eleventh day of the eleventh month); over the course of its history the channel started investing heavily in the creation of local productions, such as Calle 7 Honduras (adapted from the Chilean format), A Toda Máquina and Yo Me Llamo Honduras.[1]

In May 2003 the channel signed an output deal with Venevisión Internacional, which at the time was one of the most important agreements the channel had signed to date.[2]

The channel was positioned as the fastest-growing channel in terms of viewership in 2007; on November 22 that year, the channel held a special ceremony for its eleventh anniversary.[3]

In the wake of economic pressure by the government in 2015 due to Grupo Continental's connections to drug trafficking,[4] there was a possible threat in late October that year to close the channel.[5]
