Cadenatres was a broadcast television network in Mexico which is owned by Grupo Empresarial Ángeles (GEA), a company headed by Olegario Vázquez Raña and directed by Olegario Vázquez Aldir. Originally started by its flagship XHTRES in Mexico City as an independent broadcast television station serving the Federal District and the Valley of Mexico, it later expanded coverage throughout the entire country through various cable television systems and some Over-The-Air affiliates. == History == After acquiring the television station XHRAE from Raúl Aréchiga Espinoza on July 18, 2006, GEA relaunched XHRAE-TV under the name ''CadenaTres'' (lit. ''Network Three'') on May 28, 2007. Its goal was to become the third major national private-owned network in Mexico (hence the name). In order to achieve said goal, Grupo Imagen (GEA's multimedia branch) created a full commercial programming for the general audience which included newscasts, films, sports, comedy shows, dramas, telenovelas, political satire, daytime programming and children and teens programming. Throughout its run, several associations with international networks and production companies enriched CadenaTres programming. The network’s coverage expanded from Mexico City to the entire Mexican republic through various cable television systems and its Over-The-Air affiliates in Baja California, Chihuahua and Sonora. It struggled to become the third network against fierce completion from the "duopoly" of TV Azteca and Televisa and laws that prevented to easily acquire stations throughout the country (namely, the Federal Telecommunications Act better known as the Televisa Law). By September 30, 2009, its flaghship station had changed its call sign to XHTRES-TV from XHRAE, reflecting its network identity. The dream of becoming "The Third Network" finally materialized for Grupo Imagen, thanks to the 2013 Federal Telecommunications Act that ordered the creation of two nationwide Over-The-Air digital networks. On March 11, 2015, Grupo Imagen was granted the operation of one of the networks that would carry the CadenaTres signal nationwide over-the-air. However, in a sudden and unexpected decision, Grupo Imagen shutdown CadenaTres on October 26, 2015 and replaced its feed in its flagship channel (XHTRES Channel 28) with the Excelsior TV News Network. Except for their news anchors and paid programming (infomercials, TV ministries), all of CadenaTres programming suddenly ended its run. Allegedly, about 300 employees lost their jobs with the shutdown.〔http://aristeguinoticias.com/2310/mexico/liquidacion-casi-total-y-sorpresiva-en-cadena-tres/〕 According to the final CadenaTres web frontpage, the network ended its run in order to prepare the upcoming nationwide network. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「cadenatres」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
