This study examines Chile's 1988 Franja Electoral, the month-long nationally televised political program that gave space to both sides ahead of the country's national plebiscite. The author argues that the "mediatization" of Chilean politics through this practice enabled the peaceful transition of power from Pinochet's military dictatorship.
