TVN Chile has released a new romantic comedy vertical telenovela titled "Los Sabores del Amor" on its TVN Vertical streaming platform [1, 2].
The launch represents a strategic move by the broadcaster to expand its "ficción vertical" portfolio, specifically targeting mobile viewers who consume content in a vertical format [2].
Starring actors Loreto Aravena and Pepe López, the series focuses on a romantic comedy narrative designed for the smartphone screen [1, 2]. The project was first announced June 14, 2026 [2].
By prioritizing vertical storytelling, TVN is adapting to changing consumption habits in Chile. The network is shifting resources toward mobile-first fiction to capture audiences that prefer short-form, vertical video over traditional horizontal television broadcasts [2].
The series is now available for streaming via the TVN Vertical platform [1]. This release follows the network's broader goal of strengthening its digital presence through specialized content formats [2].
“TVN is strengthening its portfolio of 'ficción vertical' by launching a comedy-romance series for mobile viewers.”
The shift toward vertical telenovelas indicates a broader industry trend where traditional broadcasters are competing with social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. By producing high-production-value fiction specifically for vertical screens, TVN is attempting to retain younger demographics who have largely abandoned traditional TV schedules in favor of mobile-first, on-demand content.
