<\/a>The show went out on a T.T.5-A five-watt video transmitter in 2.5 audio, making the Dominican Republic the third country in Latin America, after Mexico and Cuba, to have television.<\/p>\nThe equipment used was RCA, bought under an agreement between Jose\u00a0Arismendy\u00a0Trujillo Molina, Abraham Santamaria and Mr. Robert, the latter a US citizen. The engineer J.K. Gram of RCA came to the country to install the transmitter along with several other German and Polish technicians.<\/p>\n
In 1953, the name Voice of\u00a0Yuna\u00a0was changed to Radio-TV Palace \u2013 the Dominican Voice, from which radio and TV broadcasts were made.<\/p>\n
The first announcers, singers and comedians came from the Dominican Voice as a result of having set up schools to train people in song and locution.<\/p>\n
Many renown national and international artists came from these training programs including Bobby Capo, Casandra\u00a0Damir\u00f3n,\u00a0Elenita\u00a0Santos; the comedians Tin Tan and\u00a0Pildor\u00edn, Elsa Miranda, Eva Garza, Libertad\u00a0Lamarque, Leo Cortez, Miguel\u00a0Aceves\u00a0Mej\u00eda, Mar\u00eda Victoria, Tony Aguilar, Mar\u00eda\u00a0Antonieta\u00a0Pons, Kid\u00a0Gavil\u00e1n\u00a0and Pedro Vargas to name\u00a0some of them.<\/p>\n
One of the\u00a0defining moments in Dominican television occurred in 1955 when they broadcast their first transmission in color: the opening activities of the Peace and Confraternity Fair of the Free World.<\/p>\n
Since its founding, state-run television has gone through many phases and changes but it has always occupied the same headquarters on Doctor Tejada Street #8 in the Villa Consuelo sector of Santo Domingo. In 1965, the name was changed to Radio Television\u00a0Dominicana\u00a0(RTVD) then later Dominican Television, but soon changed back to RTDV. On July 29, 2003, the name was changed yet\u00a0 again and, by law, it became the State Corporation for Radio and Television (CERTV), which it is still called today.<\/p>\n
Today the\u00a0Lulio\u00a0Moscoso\u00a0Museum exhibits memorabilia, photographs and documentation collected from the birth of Dominican television. The museum\u2019s name is a tribute to one of the first technicians of the state-run radio and who, for forty years, worked in the service of the TV station.<\/p>\n
Private Television<\/b><\/h2>\n
In 1959 the first private television station in the country was opened:\u00a0Rahintel\u00a0on Channel 7 with the important participation of\u00a0Radhames\u00a0Trujillo.<\/p>\n
On November 30, 1969 \u201cColor Vision\u201d was opened in Santiago de\u00a0los\u00a0Caballeros becoming the first colorized television in the country and the third in Latin America. It was later moved to Santo Domingo, where it still operates through Channel 9.<\/p>\n
Soon after\u00a0Teleinde\u00a0was inaugurated and began to broadcast from Channel 13. Another private television station,\u00a0Telesistema\u00a0on Channel 11 was opened in 1978 and the following year\u00a0Teleantilles\u00a0on Channels 2 and 13.<\/p>\n
One of the most important innovations in recent years was the introduction of cable television, starting in 1981, by\u00a0Telecable\u00a0Nacional.<\/p>\n
