Radio Tres Puntos Description
Radio Tres Puntos was born in the heart of Esperanza Andina 10 years ago as a project led by Emilio Vargas and Jaime Olguín, sons of founders of this town. With the intention of strengthening community communication, they created this medium through the Entre Nubes Youth Center, an organization that not only impacted their territory, but also encouraged and organized young people from across the commune.
With the vision of generating change in Peñalolén, these two young people opted for a project that promoted citizen and youth participation, demonstrating that young people from popular sectors can not only raise their voices, but also realize their ideals. Completely voluntarily, they dedicated their time and effort to growing this initiative.
Over the years, the work bore fruit and the Radio Tres Puntos team expanded until it currently has around 30 people, including collaborators and permanent members. Today, the radio has established itself as an information reference in the commune, standing out for its constant evolution and professionalization in tune with technological and social advances.
Growth and Professionalization
The commitment of Radio Tres Puntos has promoted the creation of solid information guidelines and the carrying out of journalistic investigations, taking advantage of new communication technologies. This has made her a role model for other community media.
During its 10 years of experience, the radio has informed and entertained the community of Peñalolén and surrounding areas, covering local and national news, making emerging artists visible and providing a space for neighbors to express their needs and problems.
Thanks to the application for competitive funds, the media has been able to acquire high-standard technological equipment, improve its infrastructure and expand its antenna signal, allowing more sectors of the community to access its programming. In addition, the constant work of its team has facilitated the creation of contact networks and obtaining sponsors who have supported the project since its inception.
A Digital, Close and Participatory Radio
In its commitment to digital, Radio Tres Puntos offers fresh and close programming that connects with the interests of its audience. Its content covers culture, politics, music, sports and current events, always with a dynamic and participatory style. Through the constant use of social networks and messaging applications, it encourages direct dialogue with its auditors, allowing a more human and fluid interaction.
Its commitment to local identity is reflected in its space for relevant figures of the commune and the country, such as artists, social leaders, entrepreneurs and political authorities. In addition, it remains attentive to the news with real-time information and topics of interest to various generations.
Radio Tres Puntos is also distinguished by its strong link with the cultural scene of Peñalolén. Through collaborations with local musicians, artists and organizations, it reinforces its role as a bridge between creative initiatives and the community.
Since 2025, the radio has expanded its reach by entering the television format, reaffirming its commitment to continue innovating and bringing its content to new platforms.
Ten Years of Community Voices
Now, having completed a decade of experience, Radio Tres Puntos remains firm in its mission to be an alternative to the major media in Chile. Their work focuses on reaching sectors where others do not reach and amplifying the voices of those who have been historically neglected.
With its slogan “More than a radio”, Radio Tres Puntos continues to establish itself as a key space for expression and exchange in Peñalolén, ensuring that the community's voice is heard inside and outside its borders.
