History
In October 1958 an agreement was signed that gave rise to Televisora de Costa Rica S.A., Teletica Channel 7. Mario Echandi, President of Costa Rica, decided to grant licenses to private television. Two men were his great predecessors, in the area of business, Mr. René Picado Esquivel and the area of electronics, Mr. Carlos Manuel Reyes.
On May 9, 1960 the first television image was aired. People were amazed to have this new world in their homes. From its first day on the air, its goals were to inform, educate and entertain, stimulate art and culture, and encourage further commercial development through advertising activity.
