You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Canal 2''' is a [[Nicaragua]]n [[free-to-air]] [[television network]] owned by Televicentro de Nicaragua, S.A., owned by the [[Mexico|Mexican]] media mogul [[Remigio Ángel González]]. In theory, the channel's sister channels are those of [[Grupo Ratensa]], but in practice, the channel is an independent operation with support from the Nicaraguan government.<ref name="Televicentro">((cite web |title=Familia Ortega monopoliza medios de comunicación en Nicaragua|url=https://www.diariolasamericas.com/familia-ortega-monopoliza-medios-comunicacion-nicaragua-n2965310|access-date=27 December 2023 |website=Diario Las Américas |date=24 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170624043257/https://www.diariolasamericas.com/familia-ortega-monopoliza-medios-comunicacion-nicaragua-n2965310 |archive-date=24 June 2017))</ref>

== History ==
Televicentro de Nicaragua, S.A. was founded in December 1965 by [[Octavio Sacasa Sarria]] and started broadcasting in March 1966. It was the third television channel in Nicaragua after Channel 6, owned by the [[Somoza]] family. Televicentro started broadcasting in colour in 1973.

With the triumph of the [[Sandinista]] revolution in July 1979, Channel 2 together with Channel 6 were expropriated by the Sandinista government and turned into the [[Sistema Sandinista de Televisión]] (SSTV), ''the Sandinista Television System''. Channel 2 returned to its original owners at the end of 1989.

In 1996, Channel 2 became the first Central American TV channel to have an official web site. Canal 2 also broadcasts from relay-transmitter channel 7 in some parts of the country.

In 2005, Televicentro signed an agreement with Channel 33 from [[Costa Rica]] to broadcast the evening transmissions of Noticiero 22-22 in that country.

In 2006, the channel started streaming broadcasts.

In late 2011, Octavio Sacasa said that "the channel is not for sale", amid rising concerns that Televicentro's sale to Albavisión was finalized, as other versions of the same story have been circulating in business circles, about alleged advanced negotiations between Sacasa and Ángel González. González and Sacasa were business partners in the USA in the 80s, until becoming arch-rivals in the early 90s, when Sacasa reassumed control of Televicentro.<ref>((cite web |title=Canal 2 negocia venta con Ángel González|url=https://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni/nacionales/234501-canal-2-negocia-venta-angel-gonzalez/ |access-date=21 March 2022 |website=El Nuevo Diario |date=28 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111130233253/https://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni/nacionales/234501-canal-2-negocia-venta-angel-gonzalez/ |archive-date=30 November 2011))</ref>

In 2014, the channel's news operation (TVNoticias) was taken over by Maurice Ortega, aligning it with the government's viewpoint.<ref>((cite web |title=Ortega media enrich his family, entrench his hold on Nicaragua |url=https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/nicaragua-politics-ortega/ |access-date=29 June 2022 |website=Reuters |date=23 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201123121258/https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/nicaragua-politics-ortega/ |archive-date=23 November 2020))</ref>

In 2015, the channel was definitely sold to Albavisión, as an independent operation from Grupo Ratensa, even though Carlos Pastora from Canal 10 was still managing the channel. González owned the channel by means of one of his figurehead subsidiaries, TV Móvil, in what was considered to be another "blow" to democracy in Nicaragua, and was even condemned by the Nicaraguan Catholic Church. This maneuver allowed the Ortega-Murillo family to have absolute control of the television station and expand the number of media outlets, in exchange for a repeater television frequency for González (channel 7).<ref name="Televicentro"></ref>
