It is one of the five stations operated by Radio y Televisión de Guatemala, who also operate channels 3, 7, 13 and 23; all of which are linked to Remigio Ángel González through his Albavisión group. The channel specializes in animated series, TV shows and movies.
History
[edit]The Guatemalan government issued a license for channel 11 in 1960, announcing on December 27 that year as "Voz e Imagen de Centroamérica" on an advertisement at the El Imparcial newspaper, promising an 8,000-watt antenna and a budget of 25,000 quetzales.[2] Before starting operations, the channel failed to begin operations, having failed its initial April 1961 target; the station faced legal problems on February 9, 1962, before the government suspended its license on March 6 the same year.[2]
The current station was founded between October 1966 and February 1967 with mixed Guatemalan and Honduran capitals; financing came from Guatemalan businessmen and the channel was led by the Honduran Antonio Mourra.[2] Mourra later started channel 13, which later joined Asociación de Televisoras de Centroamérica y Panamá as a founding member.[3]
