The concept behind channel 13 in Cochabamba dates back to 1982 or 1983, with the project being backed by figures from the political left.[2] It started broadcasting in November 1984, still without a license, and was owned by Jorge Aguilar. Unlike Cochabambina de Televisión, the station's operations were more irregular in nature. For a few weeks in January and February 1985, the station suspended its operations due to technical issues, restarting in March 1985.[3] As a channel needed resources, the initial staff of the station found themselves indebted. Jaime Iriarte Angulo, owner of a newspaper, bought the station from its initial owners and turned it into an apolitical outlet.[2] The licensee was Cochabamba Televisora Iriarte.[4] The station was instrumental in the construction of the Cristo de la Concordia statue between 1987 and 1994.[2] By the early 2000s, the station was owned by Comunicadores Bolivianos Asociados.[5]
Near the mid-2000s, ECOR bought the station.[6] Digital broadcasts started in 2018, alongside its sister stations in the two other main cities of the trunk axis.[7]
