History
The station began broadcasting on 18 January 1968 from Maldonado.[1] It was known as "Canal 9 del Este" and broadcast on channel 9. On 7 July 1991, after 23 years, the station moved to channel 7 in a swap with TeleRocha, which moved to channel 9. The station for years after the swap was known as "Canal 7 Cerro Pan de Azúcar", referring to its transmitter site and high-power facility.[1]
