Background
Chilevisión is a private free-to-air Chilean TV channel, and one of the main 4 in the country. It was originally launched in 1960 as Canal 9 (Channel 9), as a project of the University of Chile, being the third channel to be launched in Chile. Near 1978, the channel gained color equipment and started broadcasting in color like the rest of the channels. On 1980, the channel frequency was changed from 9 to 11, which resulted in a name change to Teleonce (and by 1983, Universidad de Chile Televisión). In 1991, the channel was rebranded in 1993 as Red de Televisión Universidad de Chile, as a plan to expand the channel. However, it wasn't successful, and along some problems at maintaining it, RTU was sold to Grupo Cisneros in 1993. By 2000, the channel was owned by Claxson Multimedia Group, and finally, by 2010, after a long process, it was sold to Turner Broadcasting. On 5 April 2021, it was announced that ViacomCBS (now Paramount Global) had reached an agreement to acquire Chilevisión from WarnerMedia Latin America. The sale was granted approval on July 5, 2021, and completed on October 1, 2021.
Teleonce/Universidad de Chile Televisión
(1981-1991)
Nicknames: "(11)"
Logo: The ID's mostly consist in the Teleonce logo (a stylised screen with the number "11" inside) being animated in different ways.
Variants:
- Blue 11: On a black background, we see a white colored Teleonce logo. A blue light in the background moves behind it, and the text "Universidad de Chile" ("University of Chile" in Spanish) appears below.
- Neon 11: On a purplish background with several stars, several pixelated lines appear and flicker, gradually being revealed to be an outline of the Teleonce logo. The logo starts rotating until it stops at the bottom-left corner of the screen, and the text "Universidad de Chile Televisión" flips in above it.
- Golden 11: There's two versions. TBA
- Yellow 11: On a space background, we see a spinning cube with a sky background inside. When it comes close enough and the background takes over the screen, the lower half of the background fades to a rapidly moving sea. A 3D version of the Teleonce logo in yellow rotates in and places itself on the sky at a slight angle, and the words "Universidad de Chile Televisión" fly in and settle below it.
- Metallic 11: There are two versions:
- On a black background with a purple line, a 3D Teleonce logo in yellow flies in, rotating a bit, and settles in the center. A flash then moves to the left and forms the words "Universidad de Chile", and ""Televisión" appears below them.
- Another version features the same text but bolder and in Arial.
FX/SFX: Depends of the variant. Either 2D or 3D animation.
Music/Sounds:
- Blue 11: An excerpt of the channel's theme at the time, with an announcer saying "Corporación de Televisión de la Universidad de Chile, Teleonce. El canal de la chilenidad." ("Television Corporation of the University of Chile, Teleonce. The Chilean channel.").
- Neon 11: A bell tune with the aforementioned announcer spiel.
- Golden 11: An almost ominous synth theme that was also used on a sign-off at the time. The second version uses a moog-synth version of the University of Chile's anthem.
- Yellow 11: TBA
- Metallic 11: One of three synth versions of the University of Chile's anthem.
Availability: Extinct.
RTU (Red de Televisión Universidad de Chile)
(1991-1992)
Note: The ID can be seen [youtube.com/watch?v=3l8MRhA5riY&t=577s here].
Nicknames: "University Blocks"
Logo: We start on a space background, where three blocks (one in blue, and the other two in red) fly in and place themselves in a low angle on the center of the screen. The letters "RTU" appear on top of each block as they flip up at a normal angle. Finally, the text "RED DE TELEVISION UNIVERSIDAD DE CHILE" in light blue rises from the bottom and stops below the blocks.
FX/SFX: 3D animation.
Music/Sounds: A dreamy synth theme, with some "whooshes" when the blocks fly in and an announcer saying "Transmite RTU, Red de Television Universidad de Chile, y su canal familiar." ("Transmittig RTU, the Chilean University's television channel, and its family channel.").
Music/Sounds/Variant: The announcer spiel may sometimes end differently. For example: "...Y su canal del deporte." ("and its sports channel.").

5th Logo (2002)
Nicknames: "Plastic Ball", "Scripture Sphere III", "Happy People"
Logo: We see a person (occasionally more) standing in a city and holding a black cardboard sign with a random message. A circle is drawn around the head of the person/people and fades out, followed by a second circle around the sign and a third one on the bottom-right corner of the screen. The third circle is filled in with a random color, and the Chilevision logo's sphere (now solid and blue) rises up from the bottom of the screen and settles inside the circle, with the letters "CHV" sliding in from behind it. Finally, the name "chilevisión" appears below, followed by the words "tu canal" ("your channel"). 20 versions are known to exist.
Variants: There's a secondary version used between, after or before programs: On an animated orange or blue background, we see the sphere zooming out and the logo forming in the same ways as the main IDs.

- 2009-2014: The slogan "TV de Verdad" ("Real TV"), with the letters "TV" moving slightly to reveal the letters "ee", which complete the slogan ("TeVe de Verdad").
