During 2019, businessman Juan Sutil and food company Agrosuper decided to pull their ads, including some of Agrosuper's brand Super Pollo, from CNN Chile and from Chilevision, purportedly because of a CNN Chile show named "Agenda Agricola", which has shown videos of anti-government protests.{{Cite web|url = https://eluniversal.cl/contenido/7378/agrosuper-quita-financiamiento-a-chilevision-y-cnn-chile-y-en-todos-los-medios-d|title = El Universal Chile - Tu Portal de Noticias|date = 23 September 2016|access-date = 9 September 2020|archive-date = 5 January 2021|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210105223557/https://eluniversal.cl/contenido/7378/agrosuper-quita-financiamiento-a-chilevision-y-cnn-chile-y-en-todos-los-medios-d|url-status = dead}}
