History

The project of creating a community television station for the residents of Rubio in the Táchira State dates back to 1995. In the early hours of November 10, 2005, equipment belonging to the future television station were stolen through a hole in the ceiling of its transmission facility on El Campanario hill in Rubio. On May 20, 2006, TV Rubio finally went on the air. It reaches a population of about 70,000.
