History
editThe station started broadcasting as an independent station, Teleandina, on July 1, 1985, with broadcasts from Monday to Friday at 6:00 p.m. and on weekends at 5:00 pm., being owned by brothers Mario and Hugo Roncal.[2] At the time the channel broadcast pirated content from other countries, a recurrent practice in early private television stations.[3] Back then, filmmaker Hugo Roncal was the channel's general manager. In 1987 the transmitting antenna changed and Teveandina expanded its broadcast schedules starting at 11:00 a.m. from Monday to Friday and at 6:00 a.m. on Sundays. Teleandina's studio was located in the center of the city and they moved to Miraflores first and to Sopocachi at the end of the 1980s, thus broadcasting regularly since November 24, 1988.
Before adopting the Red Uno branding, Teleandina broadcast on channel 11 in Oruro, 13 in Santa Cruz, 6 (later 9) in Cochabamba (channel 2 CCA Corazón de América is relayed some programs of its programs), 11 in La Paz and had repeater stations throughout the country.[4]
On February 21, 2022, Red Uno La Paz inaugurated its studios in the adjacent city of El Alto.[5]
