The United Dorado Company (often shortened to/commonly referred to as UDC and stylized as udc) is an American commercial broadcast television network that is owned by the Dorado Station Services subsidiary of Dorado Media. The network is headquartered in the Dorado Plaza on Naito Parkway in Portland, Oregon alongside with flagship broadcast television network The Dorado Broadcasting Company and, to some extent, its Spanish-language network MundoDBC.

Background[]

On April 17, 2017, the former CEO of QTV Inc and its predecessors had sold the QTV television network to Dorado Media. Executives from Dorado Media announced on April 30, 2017, that they would respectively shut down QTV, and combine resources to form a new broadcast network, to be known as The United Dorado Company, that would – at the outset – feature programming from its predecessors-to-be as well as new content developed specifically for the new network.

The network made its debut in May 2017, after its predecessor, QTV respectively ceased independent operations on May 3 and 4 of that year.

QTV Network closure[]

On April 30, 2017, QTV parent Dorado Media announced that they would shut down the respective network and launch a new broadcast network that would incorporate QTV’s higher-rated programs with newer series produced exclusively for UDC. The new network immediately signed 10-year affiliation agreements with stations affiliated with QTV (many stations that were affiliated with the network that was owned by QTV’s former network' part-owner, QTV Inc. would merge with the Dorado Station Services) – including stations in the coveted markets of New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. As a result, and the company responded a few days later by removing all QTV branding from those stations and ceasing promotion of the network's programs.

QTV quietly went off the air on May 3, 2017, at 10:59 PM EDT, ending the network's existence after 2 years.
