History
Rafael Ferrari launched Telecadena (legal name Centroamericana de Televisión)[1] on July 29, 1985;[2] the Ferrari family later merged Telecadena with other television stations under their control two years later to create the current Televicentro.[3] After the creation of Televicentro, a news unit for the channel Telenoticieros y Documentales, S.A., was created, for the purpose of Abriendo Brecha, its newscast.[4] Abriendo Brecha was long known for Wong Arévalo's comments against US interference in Honduran politics.[5]
In September 2020, the channel aired Vencer el Miedo, a telenovela produced by Televicentro in association with the government countering gender violence.[6] The channel has also aired Korean animated series (in recent years) and dramas (since 2024).[7]
