==Controversies== On September 24, 2014, the regulatory bodies informed Canela TV of possible discriminatory content against channel presenter Ángelo Barahona, presenter of {{lang|es|Detectives de Famosos}}, a gossip show, regarding an edition broadcast on May 14 that year. A brief segment was analyzed where the presenter was changing his tone by saying terms such as "he's looking ugly at me, he discriminates me" or "he hates me". The incident happened during an interview to Brown City, a musical duo from Guayaquil.<ref name="CORDICOM"/>
