History
TV Venezuela was announced in November 2005, with a tentative launch date set for December. Its initial partners were Globovisión, Meridiano Televisión, RCTV and regional stations.[2] On January 10, 2006, the channel was added to DirecTV's Spanish-language packages in the United States.[3]
Following the closure of RCTV, it was one of the outlets that aired El Observador in its three daily editions.[4] In July, the channel was made available on Comcast systems in South Florida, alongside sister outlet SUR Perú.[5] In November, it aired that year's constitutional referendum in simulcast with Canal SUR.[6]
Nathaly Salas Guaithero was named its general director, who was in charge of the channel's current affairs programming.[7]
