on december 6, 2012, telefe presented its voluntary adaptation plan before the argentinean federal authority for audiovisual communication services in order to adapt to the audiovisual communication services law, where it proposed to put neuquén channels 7 and 9 up for sale in bahía blanca. the plan was approved two years later on december 16, 2014, leaving the two channels for sale. on december 29, 2015, changes were made to several articles of the law (among them article 45, which indicated that the licensee could not cover with its open media more than 35% of the country's population); as a result of the elimination of the limit percentage of national coverage, telefe would no longer have the obligation to sell the two channels, being able to keep the 8 channels from the interior in its possession. on february 2, 2016, the national communications entity (successor to afsca) decided to file all adaptation plans (including telefe's) as a consequence of this, telefe no longer has the obligation to sell any of its television channels.
