TV Venezuela (also known as TVV) is a Venezuelan-American television channel airing in the United States for the Venezuelan diaspora, featuring programming from various Venezuelan television networks. The network was created to fill in a void in the US Hispanic market, for the Venezuelan diaspora. [1]

History

TV Venezuela was announced in November 2005, with a tentative launch date set for December. Its initial partners were Globovisión, Meridiano Televisión, RCTV and regional stations. [2] On January 10, 2006, the channel was added to DirecTV's Spanish-language packages in the United States. [3]

Following the closure of RCTV, it was one of the outlets that aired El Observador in its three daily editions. [4] In July, the channel was made available on Comcast systems in South Florida, alongside sister outlet SUR Perú. [5] In November, it aired that year's constitutional referendum in simulcast with Canal SUR. [6]

Nathaly Salas Guaithero was named its general director, who was in charge of the channel's current affairs programming. [7]
