Televisión Universitaria UMRPSFXCH

On August 28, 1974, university rector Dr. Luis Rivera Cortez founded the television unit of the university as a closed circuit system. All of the programs produced in this phase were generated from the university's central building, where locals took part without restriction. The transmission equipment was donated by the National Council of Higher Education (CNES), with the commitment to expand the donation in order for TVU to broadcast an over-the-air signal.^[4]

The new version of TVU Sucre was founded in March 1976, after talks with Rev. Philip Bourret, president of the Educational Development Corporation. Over-the-air broadcasts started on December 31, 1976, becoming Sucre's first television station. In 1976, 280,824.80 bolivianos were used in equipment and implementation, in addition to 40,000 bolivianos in remodeling of the premises and 146,000 bolivianos in the acquisition of a plot of land in the Poconas area (where the TVU building is currently located) to build its own premises. In 1977, Televisión Boliviana started broadcasting in Sucre by installing a repeater station.^[5]
