History

Colorvision began regularly scheduled programming on November 30, 1969, in the city of Santiago de los Caballeros.Colorvision's first transmissions were from the Matun hotel, in Santiago.

During 1970, Colorvision moved its daily transmissions to Santo Domingo, Overthere, Colorvision used the famous Hotel Jaragua's areas as television sets. One of the first show hosts was Manolo Quiroz.

Later on, Dominican businessman Poppy Bermudez, a millionaire, put a large amount of money to help Colorvision open its own studio.

The 1970s were times of growth for the company, as many locally produced programs were shown, and people such as Jack Veneno found work at the station, and a niche among Dominican television viewers.

During the 1980s, Colorvision contracted such stars as Freddy Beras Goico (cousin of Charytin Goico) and Miledys Cabral.

For the next twenty years, the channel continued growing nationally. Colorvision became the first Dominican channel to have live internet telecasts, and, in 2003, it began to be shown in the United States, through the DirecTV system.

Colorvision offers variety and news shows, as well as telenovelas, among other types of programming.
