Televisión Boliviana (Bolivia TV) is the first television channel of Bolivia and serves the only means of television communication from the government. The channel was established in August 1969 under the government of Luis Adolfo Siles after years of planning by the government of then-recently deceased René Barrientos.[2] It is a state-owned broadcasting network.
Created to replace the previous public station Televisión Boliviana or TVB, it was the audience leader as it was the only legal television station in the country until 1984, when private television stations were legalized in Bolivian territory.
Bolivia TV has been accused by society and opposition politicians of being a means of propaganda for the government in power. Most of the channel's content belonged to social organizations and figures affiliated with the ruling party.[3][4][5]
History
Military governments (1969–1979)
State television in Bolivia emerged a long time after the same started in other Latin American countries. Following the 1966 Bolivian general election, plans were already underway for a national television service owned by the government. Up until then, Bolivia was served by a small number of closed-circuit experimental systems. Provisions were made for the government to provide a one-year monopoly to the first TV station in Bolivia, scheduled to start before the end of 1966. The state had already reserved three frequencies, channel 5 in La Paz, channel 4 in Cochabamba and channel 3 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. After the prospective first year period ended, the state would allow the creation of private television stations.[6]
Given the rumors of the closure of Congress and the desire of the government of that time to have power over the country to become a dictator,[7] President René Barrientos Ortuño signs the Supreme Decree 08395, on June 19, 1968, with which he founded the Bolivian Radio and Television Company (RTB), and later, with Supreme Decree 8571 (November 20, 1968) decides to change the name to Empresa Nacional de Televisión Boliviana (or by its acronym, ENTBOL).[8]
Due to the death of Barrientos (caused by a helicopter accident in Arque), his vice president, Luis Adolfo Siles Salinas, assumes the presidency, and therefore, continues Barrientos' project before passing away. At that time, a contract was signed with the Spanish company, INELEC, in order to advise and contribute to the installation of the State Television Channel. Many of the members of the technical team were members of the Spanish company, as well as the Bolivian Air Force, in addition to several equipment parts being brought from Spain.[9]
Televisión Boliviana was founded on August 30, 1969, during the constitutional government of President Luis Adolfo Siles Salinas, being an unfinished project of the last stage of the deceased president René Barrientos Ortuño[10] The first face seen on the station was that of Tito Landa. International news came from DPA newswires, where the news arrived on a three-day delay.[11]
Initially, the coverage area was limited to La Paz, from a studio located in El Alto, with the signal reaching the capital and the mining centers. In 1971-1972, the coverage expanded to cover other departments, by means of relay stations. The signal was satisfactorily received in a few areas of La Paz, in other cities less so, in a precarious manner.[12]
Of a state nature, two years later it became the tool with which the dictatorship of Hugo Bánzer tried to neutralize the influence of the mining stations, and to prevent them from operating successfully. In 1974, the government and COMIBOL distributed five thousand television sets in the mines with extensive payment facilities. According to testimonies from the families of the miners, the introduction of this new medium changed the views and expectations of the population, although later in 1978 the miners demanded the return and reopening of their radios through a stoppage of activities.
Between 1976 and 1977, TVB started experimenting live broadcasts between two cities.[11]
In 1977, the structure of the television market in the country was made up of nine television stations: eight managed by state universities with regional coverage (La Paz, Santa Cruz, Tarija, Cochabamba, Oruro, Sucre, Potosí and Trinidad),[13] and one state network with national coverage. That same year General David Padilla authorized the granting of licenses for private television stations. However, before they were assigned, his regime suffered a coup by General García Meza, who promptly re-established the state monopoly on television, and appointed military rectors in the universities, so that its channels came under the close control of the Ministry of the Interior. The relative independence that these stations had until then was considerably reduced.
Arrival of color television (1979)
On August 1, 1979, Televisión Boliviana began broadcasting on the NTSC system.[14] in color compatible with the M transmission system in black and white. This, despite the fact that from 1976 some foreign productions could be seen in color in the country.
Democratic governments and the entrance of private media (1982–2003)
During the governments of presidents Hernán Siles Zuazo (1982–1985) and Víctor Paz Estenssoro (1985–1989), Televisión Boliviana showed greater political plurality, including spaces for the opposition and more objective journalism . The administration of President Jaime Paz Zamora (1989–1993) continued with this opening. But by then, private television stations began broadcasting clandestinely, and even managed to obtain broadcasting licenses, events that caused a drop in audience for the state network. Around this time, the station was also plagued by abuse, manipulation and censorship incidents.[15] During the first government of President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada (1993–1997), the channel's newscasts were directed by the journalist Carlos Mesa. The station's programming broadcast a wide variety of journalistic, historical and documentary programs. Some slots were broadcast in indigenous languages.
With the arrival of the second government of president Hugo Bánzer (1997–2001), the editorial line of Televisión Boliviana took a clear turn to the right. Military parades and national commemorations were often broadcast. News programs avoided mentioning the bloody human rights violations that occurred in the 1970s, during the first Bánzer government. After his death in 2002, his successor, Jorge Quiroga (2001–2002), the network did not make significant changes.
During the second government of President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada (which began in August 2002) an attempt was made to return to a program similar to that of his first term from 1993 to 1997, but the resounding fall of his government with the Gas War in October 2003 left many projects shelved. In the political turmoil that shook the country in the two years and two months that followed, the station was unable to adopt a defined information line and its programming showed a gradual deterioration that did not improve until the decline of its corporate identity.
Decline and closure of Televisión Boliviana (2005–2009)
Since the assumption of the presidency by the first government of Evo Morales Ayma, in January 2006, the channel has undergone profound changes. One of TVB's projects was the beginning of broadcasts in high definition for the first time in the country.
Since 2007, the network has entered into an alliance with the Japanese television station NHK for the broadcast of documentaries. Due to the costs of maintaining the alliance due to the low budget suffered by the channel, they were removed from the air, as were done Telesur productions that were broadcast on TVB. The eliminated programming was replaced by the transmission of Bolivian films and events related to works by the Evo Morales government. The network tried to increase the audience and the commercial collection with the incorporation of programs such as La Justa or continue with the broadcast of programs such as Bolivia Agropecuaria and Viajero. Even so, the station caused a huge debt to the Bolivian State, which chose to declare it bankrupt. This fact caused the cessation of operations of the Bolivian National Television Company.
On April 15, 2009, through Supreme Decree No. 0074, the "Liquidation of the Empresa Nacional de Televisión Boliviana – ENTB" was declared, and in turn the closure of operations and transfer of equipment and assets of ENTB to the State Company to be created,[16] ending the first television network in the history of Bolivia, 4 months after the 40th anniversary of the start of operations of the state channel. The former network was accumulating losses of US$6 to 8 million.[17]
Beginning of Bolivia TV (2009)
Supreme Decree No. 0078 [18] determines the creation of the State Television Company called "Bolivia TV"; determine its legal nature, object, heritage; and establish the composition and attributions of its board of directors and its general manager, with legal domicile in the city of La Paz. The general manager will be appointed by the minister of the presidency through a ministerial resolution.
The board of "Bolvia TV" is made up of the ministers of:
- Presidency
- Development Planning
- Economy and Public Finance
- Public Works, Services and Housing
- Education
- Cultures
On February 15, 2011, Supreme Decree No. 0793 was enacted,[19] which establishes the creation of the Ministry of Communication and, in turn, the responsibility of appointing the General Manager of Bolivia TV.
Considering... that telecommunications constitute a strategic sector, because they seek national and global integration, eliminating the exclusion of impoverished sectors of the country with the reduction of the digital divide. Likewise, the reduction of inequalities in access to telecommunications will allow the Bolivian population, especially the poor and marginalized social sectors, the opening of greater opportunities for economic and social development. – Fragment of Supreme Decree No. 0078
After the bankruptcy, a new company called Bolivia TV1 was created, which continues broadcasting on the frequencies previously used by TVB, a few programs of the defunct station continued to be broadcast by the recently inaugurated channel. In addition, the channel began broadcasting 24 hours a day.

Launch on DTT and HD signal (2011)
Following a memorandum of understanding signed between the governments of Bolivia and Japan, the ISDB-T standard was selected and the first test users were Bolivia TV and the university stations.[21] Since the end of September 2011, BTV began broadcasting on digital terrestrial television on channel 16 UHF in La Paz, from the La Ceja studios in El Alto. A month later, in October of the same year, from its experimentation in the Folkloric Entrance of the Oruro Carnival, Bolivia TV launched its own signal in HD. The channel became the first station in Bolivia to broadcast in high definition.
By 2021, it had two high-definition signals.
Bolivia TV 7.1
It is the main channel of the station. It broadcasts in high definition with the same programming that it broadcasts at the Avenida Camacho Studios, La Paz. It does not broadcast regional programming, which is broadcast exclusively by VHF in analog form in the different departments of the country.
Bolivia TV 7.2
It is the second channel of the station. Its programming consists mainly of sporting events, and in the background of national and foreign productions broadcast by the main signal, with the exception of newscasts.
As Televisión Boliviana
Before becoming Bolivia TV, Televisión Boliviana had the mission of educating, informing and entertaining and each general manager decided how many hours and which programs were aired.
In the 1970s, TVB produced a miniseries adapted from Till Eulenspiegel that was later exported to Paraguay - Bolivian television's first export. In 1974-75, the station broadcast Enfoques, an entertainment program produced by Mario Cucho Vargas. The program invited international stars such as Julio Iglesias and Luis Aguilé, aiming to attract greater impact in its viewers, similar to entertainment shows in Argentina.[11]
Starting with the color era, in 1980 TVB broadcast from 5:00 p.m. and its early afternoon shows consisted of mostly American cartoons. Afterwards, youth programs of North American pop music, a sports program, the general news program "Telenoticioso Boliviano", a Mexican or Brazilian telenovela and American TV series such as Starsky and Hutch were aired to finish the daily broadcasts.
On Saturdays and Sundays, the television network extended its hours until 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays. Among its outstanding programs were the classic films from the United States dubbed into Spanish, cartoons, American TV series and the program Deporte Total, which completed the programming. On Sunday mornings, TV Boliviana broadcast the Catholic Mass from the Basilica of San Francisco.
With the arrival of private stations, TVB's programming first reached 15 hours a day of broadcast starting at 9:00 am. It started the day with a talk show until 12:00 pm, then a sports program followed, followed by cartoons, films and youth programs in the afternoons. The newscast was also broadcast at night, followed by a telenovela, and to finish, a movie from the large back catalog of dubbed classics that the channel had in its archive was broadcast.
After 1987, the station was known as "the channel of the Holy Spirit" (el canal del Espíritu Santo) because, due to its low power and constant interference from other media outlets, the signal could not be fully received. At that stage, TVB was putting aside commercial programming to focus on cultural, educational and news programs.
In 1991, TVB started satellite broadcasts and bought 120 10-watt transmitters. These advances were possible thanks to money obtained from a Spanish credit. Other networks would later start their satellite broadcasts.[11]In 1993, Canal 7 was the first media outlet in Bolivia to start its satellite broadcasts, but its terrestrial signal at that time left much to be desired. Having released a new 10 kW transmitter and new equipment donated by the Government of Spain, in a short time they began to show defects, needed spare parts and stopped working. The TVB signal was barely visible.
It was in each special event like the 1994 USA World Cup when TVB showed its power and coverage, reaching with its repeaters to places that were not covered by private stations.
The World Cup in France in 1998 was the last one broadcast by TV Boliviana, which was made with joint broadcasts together with ATB. That same year, TVB upgraded its satellite system to digital.[11]
From 2000 to 2007, the station broadcast NHK World programming.
As Bolivia TV
With the relaunch of the channel as Bolivia TV, the strategy of the current government was continued, although now in "schedules published on the Internet". As of 2012, the network takes up the cultural agenda with transmissions of folk festivals that took place throughout the country apart from the "Carnaval de Oruro", such as the "Integration Entrance" from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Likewise, live broadcasts of concerts by Bolivian groups were developed, whether folklore, theater or a music festival such as the "Festival de la canción boliviana" better known as "Aquí, canta Bolivia", also the Festival de Música Barroca from Chiquitos and Sucre, the concerts of Los Kjarkas around the world.
As a way of broadcasting sporting events, as of 2011, Bolivia TV broadcasts national tennis, basketball and tennis tournaments, in addition to the Juegos Estudiantiles Plurinacionales organized by the Central Government. Since 2011, "La Carrera de Automovilismo, Presidente Evo Morales" and "La Carrera Pedestre" have been broadcast, also organized by the Government. As for football, the state-owned company signed the broadcasting rights contract for the games of the "Liga del Fútbol Profesional Boliviano", both Nacional A and Nacional B. (including the Bolivian Cup final) and the World Cup Qualifying matches in both 2010 and 2014. It also broadcasts boxing tournaments, especially those in which the compatriot and world title winner Jennifer Salinas participates.
From 2012 to the beginning of 2013, Bolivia TV broadcast Disney and Nickelodeon children's productions but it was not successful[clarification needed], especially in the city of El Alto due to the claims of social organizations.[clarification needed] Faced with this situation, the children's block was eliminated from the programming of the channel.
In mid-2013, show business was added to the program, in addition to international fashion events such as The Fashion Parade at the Salar de Uyuni.
In 2014, BTV's programming was expanded with the transmission of the Baroque Music Concert in Concepción, followed by the concert by Los Kjarkas, the final of the Nacional B, the last friendlies of the Bolivian team against Spain and Greece, and the transmission of the World Cup 2014.
From 2015 to 2018, Bolivia TV broadcast the UEFA Champions League.

Criticism and controversies
Suspension in the Bolivian political crisis of 2019
After the siege of the mobilizations on November 10, 2019, from 12:00 to 16:30 Bolivia TV cut its broadcasts and replaced it with a letter of adjustment with the current logo of the channel. Then it transmitted from Chapare the resignation statement of Evo Morales and Álvaro García Linera who served as President and Vice President of the State respectively. Bolivia TV had its broadcast interrupted, with the channel's then-current logo appearing as a static image, due to all these situations that have happened in the country. After the inauguration of Jeanine Áñez, the channel returned to the air with informative and cultural programming.
Dismissal of Gonzalo Rivera
On March 6, 2020, the communications minister of Jeanine Áñez's administration, Isabel Fernández, dismissed the manager of Bolivia TV, journalist Gonzalo Rivera.[22] Arguing and holding Rivera responsible for “coordination errors”, and specifically a cut in one of the Constitutional President's speeches, according to Fernández's version.[23] This caused repercussions both in the professional and political environment, of which Gonzalo Rivera himself accused President Áñez of imposing programs very similar to those of the previous government, this accusation was published on the social network Facebook.[24][25] Subsequently, on March 9, 2020, Minister Fernández appointed Andrés Rojas as general manager of the state channel.[26]
Public spending on political advertising
On May 7, 2020, the Minister of Communication, Isabel Fernández, revealed information that from 2011 to 2019, spending on advertising for Evo Morales' administration reached 1,718 million bolivianos, of which 111.2 million Bolivians went to the state channel, and the rest were mentioned to the national channels ATB, PAT, Red Uno, Bolivisión, Abya Yala TV, RTP Bolivia, Cadena A and Gigavisión that were involved in said multimillion-dollar waste,[27] followed by Unitel and other media in Bolivia.[28]
