Chilean Telethon's logo

The 1985 Chilean telethon was the sixth version of the solidarity campaign conducted in Chile, which took place on 6 and 7 December 1985. The theme of this version was "The Miracle of All." The poster boy was Victor Munoz.

It was a difficult year for the Telethon's Institute and Foundation, due to the 2-year absence of the Telethon (1983 and 1984) and the earthquake that struck the central region (7.6 on the Richter scale). This was the year when Don Francisco formally launched the spin-off disaster relief telethon Chile helps Chile in response to this, and called on the nation to exert its efforts towards rebuilding Valparaiso Province and the Santiago Metropolitan Region.

Even with these difficulties, the Telethon was performed in the same style, with a surprising result of: $ 368,495,845.

Note: Many of these Chilean stars, together with athletes, TV and movie stars and news anchors from the participant radio and TV networks, were also featured as singers in the official theme song "Everyone's Miracle", composed for this year's edition by Marcelo López and Daniel Lencina, and the official music video, directed by Lopez, modeled and patterened after the famous MTVs of the Live Aid charity concert earlier that year, which made its TV premiere on 19 October - the first true ever all star MTV produced for Teleton, following the three prototype MTVs produced from 1980-1982.

Censorship

[edit | edit source]

During the introduction of the singing of La Voz De Los 80's, TVN censored the broadcast and instead went to a commercial break. The other channels, though, continued to show the band as usual. Televisión Nacional de Chile condemned the actions of Los Prisoneros during this telethon, since the group was openly opposed to the Pinochet Regiment. The condemning would continue on to Teleton 2002[2]
