Venevision

Venevisión (contraction of Venezolana and Televisión; officially Corporación Venezolana de Televisión) is a Venezuelan open-signal television station operated by Cisneros Media and owned by the Cisneros Organization. It began its transmissions on March 1, 1961. It has an international channel called Ve Plus, which is distributed in countries in America, Europe and Asia. The channel's main production and distribution company is Cisneros Media Distribution, formerly known as Venevisión International.

Venevisión broadcasts from the city of Caracas to the rest of the country through open signal terrestrial frequencies. Venevisión is currently the oldest channel in Venezuela after the end of transmissions by the state network Televisora Nacional in 1991 and the private RCTV in 2007. It should be noted that the latter was Venevisión's main and strong competitor for almost 46 years; and from its closure to the present, its place is occupied by Televen.

History

Beginnings

In mid-1959 the company that operated channel 4 in Caracas, then called Televisión Independiente S.A., TeleVisa (which had been founded in 1953), suspended its transmissions due to financial problems, declaring bankruptcy. Faced with this, the president of Venezuela, Rómulo Betancourt, proposed to Diego Cisneros that he acquire the signal through a tender. In July 1960 Cisneros founded Venevisión.

Foundation and Expansion (1961s)

On February 27, 1961, Venevisión officially began its broadcasts with an inaugural show that took place in the parking lots of the station's studios and in which thousands of people participated, including the presence of international guests, standing out especially the American actress Joan Crawford, one of the main stars of the golden age of Hollywood. However, its regular broadcasts would formally begin on March 1. The television broadcasts began at 06:00 p.m. m. and ended at 11:15 p.m. m..

Venevisión started with a capital of 5.5 million bolivars and 150 employees including artists, technical personnel and administrative personnel, mainly inherited from TeleVisa. The original board of directors was made up of Diego Cisneros (president), Alfredo Torres (transmission manager), Héctor Beltrán (production director), and Orlando Cuevas (general manager).

Initially Venevisión broadcast live, since video recorders had not yet been installed in the channel's studios to transmit recorded programming. With the exception of the news, the technical formats used in the films of that time were used to prepare their programs. In a short period of time, Venevisión expanded its signal nationwide and was the most tuned channel in the entire country. In March 1961 Venevisión signed two agreements with the American network ABC: one for technical support and the other for the broadcasting rights of its programs. Thanks to these agreements, Venevisión was able to complete the acquisition of the video recorders.

In its first year of existence, Venevisión invested approximately 800,000 bolivars per month in advertising. The first telenovela produced by the channel was La cruz del diablo, which was broadcast live every day for 15 minutes. The first newscast called Informaciones Venevisión also aired, which also lasted 15 minutes. The first two Latin American stars to appear on the Venevisión screen were Olga Guillot and Lucho Gatica.

In December of this year, Venevisión held the first 24-hour marathon called Venemarathon, which was held in order to collect toys for needy children and was hosted by Héctor Beltrán, Amelia Román and América Alonso among others. Already in 1965 Venevisión broadcast 18 of the 20 spaces with the highest audience in Venezuela and, in a short period of time, it became the first national circuit with channels 4, 6, 7, 9 and 12 reaching all corners of the country.

1970s, 1980s and 1990s

In the 1970s, like other television stations in the country, Venevisión began to experiment with color transmissions, initially with the broadcast of special events, and later with the production of certain projects in color for be exported to other countries. The experimental broadcasts were carried out clandestinely and went unnoticed for decades except for those who had already managed to import a color TV set.

In 1971 the channel began the international distribution of its programs thanks to the implementation of videotape technology years before. His first international sale was the telenovela Esmeralda, written by Delia Fiallo, produced by José Crousillat and starring the successful couple of the moment: Lupita Ferrer and José Bardina. This fact will mark a historical milestone not only for the company, because its productions could now be seen all over the world, but also because it was the first Venezuelan television program to be exported.

On January 29, 1972, Venevisión premiered one of the longest-running programs on the channel and on Venezuelan television: the variety show Sábado Sensacional, which continues to be broadcast to this day. That same year, the rights to broadcast and produce the Miss Venezuela beauty pageant are acquired annually, just when the maturity of the contest begins to bear fruit.

Two years later Venevisión broadcasts the X Soccer World Cup of 1974, held in what was then Federal Germany, being the second open TV channel in the country to carry this event (the first event of this magnitude, Mexico 1970, was broadcast exclusively by Radio Caracas Televisión). It is also worth noting that this edition of the World Cup was the first to be broadcast by this chain.

In 1976 Venevisión installed a powerful antenna 100 meters high in the Los Mecedores sector, very close to the antennas of Venezolana de Televisión and CANTV, so their transmitters (which were located on top of the channel facilities, in the La Colina urbanization, located north of Caracas) were moved there and, with this new antenna, the Venevisión signal was able to reach Petare, Caricuao and Guarenas, now with better quality.

In 1978, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications fined Venevisión 4,000 bolivars of the time on two different occasions and in the same week because it violated the regulations established for color broadcasts. However, the signal continued to come out in black and white, but gradually the programming would begin to be recorded and then archived in color (a practice that would not be known to the public until years later). This lasted until November 30, 1979, when it was reported that Venezuelan TV could broadcast all its programming at the national level as of December 1 of that year using polychromy, although color transmissions in Venezuela would not be made. definitively official but on June 1, 1980.

On December 8, 1979, the first national color broadcast was made with the VIII Ibero-American Song Festival (OTI) from the mobile units of Venevisión. In 1981, after the death of Ignacio Font Coll, president of Miss Venezuela, the Cisneros Organization and Venevisión take the lead as majority shareholders of the contest and appoint Osmel Sousa to that position.

In 1982 Venevisión began preliminary work in the city of El Tigre (Anzoátegui State) to install equipment that expanded and improved coverage in that region. On November 1, 1986, Venevisión began its transmissions via satellite, being the first television station in Venezuela to expand its signal to the entire American continent. On May 27, 1987, President Jaime Lusinchi renewed its concession to Venevisión to broadcast for 20 more years, until May 27, 2007.

In 1989, the company Venevisión International was created to distribute the channel's and third-party productions in the Hispanic market in the United States and Latin America. In November of that same year, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications sanctioned the channel by suspending its transmission for 24 hours, alleging the violation of one of the articles of Resolution 1,029, then in force, regarding the broadcast on radio and television of advertising spots that incite the consumption of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes, after a series was broadcast for a few days. of cigarette commercials where they were only accredited with their respective logos (this same measure was also applied to RCTV and Televen).

On February 4, 1992, President Carlos Andrés Pérez addressed the nation from the Venevisión studios during the first coup attempt against his government. As of March 22, 1992, Venevisión would broadcast for 24 hours on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

In 1993, Venevisión signs a contract with the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League to begin broadcasting its seasons. This continued until 2018, when it stopped airing on this channel, claiming that it was due to "logistical problems." In April 1994 it began to broadcast uninterruptedly for 24 hours and seven days a week, which is still in operation. Until then, it began transmissions at 06:00 and ended at 00:55.

In 1995 Venevisión was the first television station in South America to broadcast news and movies with high-quality subtitles and audio. In 1996 Venevisión moved an entire team to carry out the live and direct transmission of the XXVI Olympic Games in Atlanta, being the only occasion in which the channel broadcasts these games.

In 1997 a "Experience 3D" where, for 8 days (between May 31 and June 7 of that same year), viewers could watch various programs of that channel in 3DTV format through special glasses, which would be sold in different stores in the country. (among them the -now defunct- CADA supermarket chain).

News

In 2007 Venevisión began to simultaneously broadcast the Copa América and Miss Venezuela of that year in high definition format, although it would not be until 2011 that the video format for its programming was made official, which could vary between SDTV and HDTV. This last format was used only for Miss Venezuela for its broadcasts on OnDirecTV.

In 2012 Venevisión recorded its first telenovela in high definition: Los secretos de Lucía although, due to the requirements of the Law of Social Responsibility in Radio and Television in terms of its plot and plot, the same it had to be broadcast by Venevisión Plus; In 2015, the production Amor Secreto was the first HD novel to be broadcast, but in SD format. On May 27, 2012, the National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL) renewed the concession for 5 years. On March 1, 2015, Venevisión became the longest-running channel in Venezuela upon completing 54 years of existence (surpassing RCTV, which ended its broadcasts after 53 years, 6 months, and 12 days on the air).

In 2016, the channel would broadcast Major League Baseball again (an event it used to broadcast between 1975 and 1993), although this time only on Sundays. Likewise, from that same year, the channel would broadcast other categories of the soccer world cups, such as the U-17 and U-20 Women's Soccer World Cups, held in Jordan and Papua New Guinea respectively, in addition to the U20 Soccer World Cup. -20 of 2017, made in South Korea, whose transmission was sponsored by Empresas Polar.

In April 2018, the channel modified its aspect ratio to 16:9 widescreen in its already recorded entertainment programs, in addition to becoming Venevisión Plus productions, this with the intention of transferring current operations to its subsidiary company, while live productions would continue to be in 4:3 fullscreen. On October 2 of that same year, CONATEL through a statement informed the renewal of the concession to Venevisión, but without specifying the time that it will last. Later, on October 10, the president of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP), Juan José Ávila, reported that Venevisión will not broadcast the 2018-19 season for the first time in 25 years for unknown reasons, although it was later said that they were due to "logistical problems."

On March 13, 2020, the channel, along with others in the nation, presented problems in its open signal and cable operators due to the departure from orbit of the VENESAT-1 satellite, which was announced on the 25th of the same month.

Pet and march

Venevisión, like many institutions and/or channels, has its own mascot: the famous Venevisión Tigrito, which appeared for the first time in 1961, and represents the audacity and courage of the Venezuelan people. Since the 2000s, said mascot has stopped having appearances on the channel.

In 1964 the famous Venevisión March was created by maestro Aníbal de Abreu. Said march is a general identification of the channel for events or events of great importance, such as the coronation of a Miss Venezuela. It has several special versions for Christmas messages or ID bumpers.

Versions of the march

• Original: currently used in the extraordinary newsletters of the Venevision News or transcendental events, such as electoral events.
• Original for special events: has the sound similar to the original March only with a slight change, and ends with the phrase (singed by a choir): "Venevision, always Venevisión".
• Happy: being the most applied, it is presented especially in Miss Venezuela or in Super Saturday Sensational.
• Sports: previously used when crowning champion some LVBP or World Cup football team.
• Christmas: previously used during the Christmas and New Year celebrations. It is adapted in a way that makes reference to the musical genre of the zuliana gaita, a genre that is associated with such festivities in the country outside the Zulia State. It ends with the phrase: (newly sung by a choir) "Venevision wants you happy Christmas and New Year!".

Disputes

As one of the longest running and most watched television channels in Venezuela, Venevisión and its parent company; Cisneros Media (the second largest and most powerful media conglomerate in Latin America, surpassed only by its main ally TelevisaUnivision de México), have played an important role in the development of telecommunications and the audiovisual field in the country and in the Latin American region in general. Consequently, the channel has been the target of criticism from various political and intellectual sectors of the nation, particularly focused on the content of its news and entertainment programs:

Political incidences

• Venevisión, like other private media in Venezuela, was accused of being an alleged participant of the coup d'etat of April 11, 2002, in which he was accused by Hugo Chávez himself of issuing cartoons and other programs instead of the images of what really happened on the streets on April 12 and 13 of that year (when in response to the coup, several Chávez supporters came out to protest against the short government of Carfactr). Before that, during the coup of April 11, from the roof of a building and by microwave a journalist of the plant narrated the events of Puente Llaguno informing about an apparent massacre perpetrated by Chávez followers against an opposition march that had manifested itself on the same day. This version of the story was later demented with a video that concealed the news channel Globovisión and showed that the government and its supporters did not shoot the opposition march as it wanted to see Venevisión, but a few snipers and members of the Caracas Metropolitan Police who shot at the official march of the same day, being this a case of self-defence. He was also criticized from Miraflores for supporting the 2003 Petroleum Paro.

• Venevisión has also been accused by President Nicolás Maduro of allegedly "conspiring" and "apology of crime" for issuing images in his news of the Protests in Venezuela in 2014, the 2017 National Consultation and the "falta" coverage of the Elections to the National Constituent Assembly of 2017, of which he would receive a sanction from CONATEL.

• In addition to the accusations of the Venezuelan Left towards Venevisión for being "a channel of double morals", the same also states that the creation of the same was made, first of all, by political interests due to the inconvenience for President Rómulo Betancourt that the former Televisa would eventually become a critical channel to his government; in addition to the then large positive publicity that Pérez made during the 1990s

• Since 2005 Venevisión also received strong criticism from the Venezuelan opposition of apparently no longer being critical of the government of Hugo Chávez, as well as the excessive coverage given to the governing party during the 2006 presidential elections as well as its officials, to the detriment of the opposition; in addition to not having supported Radio Caracas Television during its controversial concession in 2007.

Criticism of the programming content

• Since 2005, the canal has been accused by sectors other than Venezuelan politics by "distracting and atoning" the Venezuelan people based precisely on the alleged excess of telenovelas (national and international), the progressive banalization, frivolization and vulgarization of their comedy and talk shows programs, and an alleged contempt for Venezuelan and general cultures in their programming. In addition, both sectors have also made particular points not only against telenovelas, but also against other programs such as Portada's, Super Saturday sensational, The Sex War and even contests like Miss Venezuela and Mister Venezuela. It is necessary to emphasize that before its closure RCTV was also the target of similar criticism.
• During the Latin Grammy Awards gala of 2021, at the time it was announced as a song of the year to Homeland and Life, the channel stopped transmitting briefly the sign of the gala, as well, did not transmit the interpretation of the song at the ceremony. Social media users criticized the channel for carrying out what several considered an act of censorship.

Other incidents

• Due to the economic crisis in Venezuela that has been present since 2013 the channel has experienced economic difficulties in carrying out various own productions, which led to the repetition of programs transmitted in previous years, as well as its replacement by foreign programs (in addition to that in 2017, after the completion of the soap opera To see you better, the chain issued a statement in which it announced that it would suspend for indefinite time the realization of this type of programs) and, most especially, the power to keep its talents and other workers. The latter have repeatedly denounced the systematic precarization of labour, the non-renewal of the collective convention and loss of profits, in addition to the withdrawal of more than 2000 employees (by February 2018 Venevisión had 748 employees when, by 2013, almost 4000 employees arrived). As a result, at the beginning of 2020, channel workers began a series of protests against the plant, mainly motivated by low wages.

• In 2014 the departure of Winston Vallenilla, who led the program The Sex War After his appointment as president of TVes (which, in turn, gave him an abrupt end to the aforementioned program shortly afterwards), he also generated controversy: Viviana Gibelli publicly announced through an interview in the newspaper El Universal the exit of the air of the program due to "strictly" economic problems, emphasizing that he would have loved to say goodbye to his audience and did not rule out that there could be in the future a new season with another animator. Vallenilla would then respond to the interview with which the program "does not go out anymore for lack of bolívares" but for political reasons, claiming that it is a class of "arremetida contra los artistas chavistas", referring to its open position in favor of officialism.
