Extra TV 42
Extra TV 42 (cable channel 14)[1] was a Costa Rican television channel owned by Diario Extra. Its broadcasts started in 1993.[2]
The channel was noticeably absent from AMNET's cable line-up up until the late 2000s.[3] Its terrestrial microwave network was improved in 2009.[4]
In January 2010, the network fired Richard Molina, who was working for its news service for ten years.[5]
On August 14, 2019, Extra TV started digital broadcasts, in conjunction with the shutdown of analog TV broadcasts in Costa Rica.[6] In September, 2020, Extra TV announced the cessation of its news service after 27 years, effective October 31.[7]
The channel closed on May 31, 2023, alongside the print publication, which was facing a crisis.[8] The channel was one of the assets acquired by Grupo Transcomer, saving the group from its shutdown.[9]
