Main programming consists of local news, telenovelas, and Panamanian reality shows called Produccion Nacional (national productions). TVN rarely broadcasts sports, however, they launched sister station TV Max channel 9 to specialize in those programs.

History edit

With help and participation from state-owned and foreign companies, the National Television and Radio System (Sistema Nacional de Radio y Televisión) was awarded a license in 1957, with help from local entrepreneurs and broadcasts officially commenced on April 23, 1962.

In 1967, a mobile unit was acquired, thus allowing the expansion of live events and shows seen on TVN, like El Show del Mediodía, La Lotería and horse races from the Presidente Remón horse track.

In 1969, when the country was starting to use satellite TV technology, TVN was amongst the first to air the Apollo Moon landings. In 1972, it became the first channel in the country to air in color.

In 1978, TVN transmitted their first FIFA World Cup, but on delay; rival RPC had the rights to air it live.

Regular programming edit

The channel mainly broadcasts telenovelas and news. TVN has a separate news division under the name of "TVN Noticias", which publishes daily news content to its website and to its television news programs.

Location edit

Current main offices and studios are located in Vía Ricardo J. Alfaro, Panama City, Panama, better known as Tumba Muerto, sharing installations with FETV (Panama), and sister channel TVMax TV stations.[1] TVN was formerly located alongside the Vía Transistmica, and had a studio alongside Avenida Balboa called Teatro ASSA.
