It would often show parodies of real life situations, ridiculized stereotypes, and elements that made fun of a post-dictatorship Chile through irony. Its name is based on " Plan Z", which was a supposed plan by the Salvador Allende administration to commit a self-coup in an attempt to establish a Marxist state with the help of the MIR and of the Cuban government. The existence of this plan was supposedly confirmed by the military, but the CIA later confirmed that it was just a product of war propaganda. The show would be given various sanctions from the CNTV due to some of the more controversial actions of the show, such as making fun of ...

Mass Media Companies Of Chile
Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. It was traditionally believed to be related to the quantity of matter in a physical body, until the discovery of the atom and particle physics. It was found that different atoms and different elementary particles, theoretically with the same amount of matter, have nonetheless different masses. Mass in modern physics has multiple definitions which are conceptually distinct, but physically equivalent. Mass can be experimentally defined as a measure of the body's inertia, meaning the resistance to acceleration (change of velocity) when a net force is applied. The object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses. An object on the Moon would weigh less t ...

They are well known in their country for their contemporary sounds of rock, based on sounds of the 1960s, from bands like The Beatles, and also including sounds from their folk roots.
