Calle 7 was a Chilean television program, shown by TVN from Monday to Friday at 6 pm. It was last co-hosted by Alain Soulat and Lucia Covarrubias, and involved two teams of young adult contenders participating in unique challenges and performing arts to win a top prize at the end of the competition.
Calle 7 began airing on January 12, 2009, at 6 pm and was presented by Martín Cárcamo and Karen Doggenweiler. The program was aimed at youth and family area where a group of participants known as "Team Calle 7" danced and competed in several tests, where the winning team gave $100,000 Chilean pesos to a viewer. The changes began with the exit of Karen Doggenweiler, on February 20, 2009, because she went to host of another project at the station called, Todos a Coro, an adaptation to the British program from BBC, Last Choir Standing, that began airing in March 2009. However changes to the program became clear when the result on the ratings came out. The level of audience for Calle 7 was about 8 points, low compared to competition. Rumors of cancellation where everywhere, but lately ratings have shown Calle 7 beating the competition. In this re-formatting of the program, "the Team Calle 7" was divided in two teams (yellow and red) and competed in different contests to win points. The winners won great prizes, while the losers were suffering hard challenges.
The first season premiered on March 2, 2009. On this season the cast of Calle 7 formed the yellow team as "Team Calle 7" and new participant formed "The Challengers" (red team). Competing every Tuesdays and Thursdays, the team with less score nominated one contestant of their own team and the Fridays one cast member was eliminated. The competition started on March 9 and the finale of the season was on July 31 and the winners was Francisco "Chapu" Puelles.
The second season of Calle 7 began on Monday, August 3, 2009. The new competitors were presented, and called "Challenging team", they will team up to compete against the well known "Team Calle 7" that includes all cast members of the season one and the winner Francisco "Chapu" Puelles. The competition system is the same as the one utilized in the first season; on Mondays and Wednesdays, the two teams compete in three events, each worth 100, 200 and 300 points. The winner of those days is saved from competing in elimination, while the loser has to compete among themselves on Tuesdays and Thursdays to elect a nominated team member. The elimination competition was on Fridays, and the loser leaves Calle 7 for ever. The winners of this was again Francisco "Chapu" Puelles.
