Tele Rebelde is Cuba's second national television network, founded in 1968. Originally a generalist channel similar to Cubavisión, the channel became a specialized sports network after the creation of Multivisión. It broadcasts fifteen hours a day, starting from 9am.

The havana channel was founded as Telemundo canal 2 in 1953 and was nationalized in 1960 becoming ICR Canal 2, Tele Rebelde was officially launched on July 22, 1968, in the city of Santiago de Cuba. It broadcast its signal to the then Oriente province and aimed to reflect the region in which it was based. It broadcast a wide variety of programs for six hours a day from Monday through Saturday and on Sunday afternoons. In its first years, its idents featured "Here is Tele Rebelde" in like manner as its sister radio station, Radio Rebelde. In 1975, it became the first station to switch to NTSC color, followed by Channel 2 in Havana.

In 1979, Tele Rebelde from Santiago de Cuba and Channel 2 in Havana were merged into a unified brand, the new network retained most of the programming and the name of the Santiago de Cuba station while also opening a new studio facility.

The channel's programming is primarily sports, with the exception of the evening magazine, which is also transmitted by Cubavisión International, with the inclusion of domestic and foreign programs distributed by thematic blocks depending on the schedule. From Monday to Saturday, the channel begins with the news magazine Good Morning, Awakening All Cuba, and reports of world and national events, emphasizing culture and sport, with the rest of the morning programming block dedicated to sports and fitness.
