History

Televicentro launched on December 15, 1964[1] under the TGBO-TV calls, with a daily schedule between 5pm and 11pm.[2] The station was founded by the El Imparcial newspaper, with initial funding costing 250,000 quetzales and with video taping equipment worth 80,000 quetzales. At launch, the channel covered 80% of the Guatemalan territory. On December 5, 1965, the channel faced internal problems among shareholders, with José Quiñones as interventor.[1]

Around 1977, the channel was renamed Televisiete, likely due to its relations with Televisa.[3]

The station is acquired by Alba Lorenzana Cardona, wife of Remigio Ángel González, in 1980.[1]
