**Suri** is a Latin Nuslonian public service channel dedicated to culture.

As an international joint venture, its programmes focus on audiences in both five countries. Because of this, the channel has two audio tracks and two subtitle tracks, one each in Spanish and Portuguese.

## History

Suri was initiated as a symbol of Encinian-Santa Cruzean friendship and had been championed since 1989. It came to fruition on 1992, when an treaty was signed between Santa Cruz and Encinas. The name was based on a large flightless bird called the Darwin's rhea.

Suri began transmissions in 1994, as an evening only-service from 7pm from 2am. The opening night on October 12th, 1994 was broadcast live from the Teatro Municipal de Santiago. By 1996, Hidalgo's public TV service (under the name of "CONACULTA+IPN", as a joint venture between Canal 22 and Canal 11) were introduced to the consortium. While in 2002, TV Cultura from Erechim and SODRE from Urugaia were introduced. Where the Portuguese language is already implemented in the channel since its launch by NET.

For early 1996, the 6:00pm time slot was added, after Hidalgo's public TV service was joined to Suri.

While TV Erechim (aka. TVE Erechim) was in the consortium between 2002 and 2018, where his departure from the consortium is due to political reasons (where they accused of being less national). Currently it's said that it will return to the consortium.

A "proper" afternoon schedule with programmes between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. was introduced on late 1996, but only exclusive in Santa Cruz's Intercom, until early 1998 when the afternoon schedule was available in Latin Nuslon when the channel was added on DIRECTV. Suri has been broadcasting 24/7 since 2004.

## Transmission and reception

Suri programmes are available with multi-channel audio: all programmes are broadcast in Spanish and Portuguese. In addition, whenever possible the original version is offered with Spanish and Portuguese subtitles and the hearing or visually impaired may get subtitles or audio description.

The channel is widely available in Latin Nuslon. Suri is also relayed by all cable networks in the five countries. It is also available on numerous cable networks in Chubut, Sendanias, Ranesia and Puno. Suri has been broadcast since 2012 in HD in the five countries.

The channel had a worldwide online feed since 2009, but some programs can't be seen due to broadcast rights issues. In 2012, the online feed was withdrawn worldwide, leaving only the one with geolocation for the Nuslon continent.

### Pacifia

Since their launch, many Suri programmes was also air on several Cochranean, Teifarosian and São Basilian TV channels. But in 2013, it was announced an Pacifian feed (but with different programmes due to broadcasting rights issue) for all of the Pacifian countries, and was a simulcast of the Latin Nuslon feed. The feed was operated by TNSC and was distributed depending on the country. Unlike the Latin Nuslon counterpart, the Pacifia feed have the option of Chinese, English or localized subtitles, depending on the country.
