History
[edit | edit source]TVO started test broadcasts in April 1985 and began regular broadcasts at 12pm on November 1, 1985,[2] however some sources say the station started earlier, approximately in 1983.[3] In 1988, the station hired Wigerto Salinas as a sports presenter[4] and became an affiliate of Telesistema Boliviano, later joining Bolivisión in 1996, which remained until 1998, when the network signed a contract with Unitel, which had started its national network.[5] Its director in the 90s was Humberto Cabezas, who oversaw the change of affiliation to Unitel.[6] Well into the early 2000s, Telesistema Boliviano was still the licensee.[7]
On August 5, 2008, its offices were damaged by a youth group connected to Movimiento al Socialismo, causing the local edition of Telepaís to be suspended on September 4, 2008, in order to avoid further confrontations.[8]
In March 2024, Unitel Oruro reporter Carmen Torres has received constant intimidation from local governor Johnny Vedía Rodriguez, due to news reports she directed about governor violence against women.[9]
