Panavisión, later renamed Telecinco, was a Panamanian over-the-air television television network owned by Panavisión del Istmo. It was an attempt to break from the TVN-RPC monopoly (alongside Telemetro) but the channel was eventually sold in the late 1980s, renamed Telecinco and shut down in 1990. It was given to the Catholic Church, who took over the frequency and launched FETV.
