Ecuador TV is the public service channel of Ecuador established in October 2007 thanks to a provision of non-reimbursable funds of $5 million of the Economic and Social Development Bank of Venezuela (BANDES by its Spanish acronym).
The channel was established at the same time as the installation of the Ecuadorian Constituent Assembly so that the sessions could be transmitted live to all the country.




History



Ecuador was one of the last countries in South America to gain a state-owned television station. For decades, the television landscape was dominated by private broadcasters.
In the government of Sixto Durán Ballén, the State gave frequencies without considering that the spectrum was an intangible part of the nation, which should be technically administered by the respective entity of the government in turn and without political meddling favoring a party.
In 2003, the government reserved two UHF frequencies for later use for television broadcasting: 48 and 49. By 2004, the number of UHF stations increased. The arrival of Rafael Correa to the presidency of Ecuador eased the creation of the network. The government announced the launch of the network on February 22, 2007, where it was also mentioned that it would join Telesur as a member. It was initially scheduled to launch on August 10 that year, coinciding with the anniversary of Ecuador's Declaration of Independence. The network was set to broadcast on the UHF band - all VHF channels were private - and would later be sent by satellite to reach key Ecuadorian diasporas in Spain, the United States and other countries.
The social status of the parent company of the channel, Televisión Nacional de Ecuador TEVECUADOR S.A. was changed to Televisión y Radio de Ecuador S.A. RTVECUADOR.
The channel made its first broadcast on November 29, 2007 with an interview to Rafael Correa.




Programming


The channel transmits content by independent national and international producers and documentaries and news programs from several international producing properties such as Discovery, TVE, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Voice of America, ViVe and teleSUR.
The channel operates as a public service company, and broadcasts news and opinion content from several countries, including the United States. The Venezuelan government described its monetary contribution to the creation of the channel, as "a caring and selfless contribution of Venezuela as part of the policy of international cooperation in the region that drives the government of President Hugo Chávez".
