Pedro Bonilla, owner of Radio HIN, expressed the will to launch a private television station and launches Rahintel (Radio HIN Televisión) on February 28, 1959 in a shop located near the grounds of the Fair of Peace and Fraternity of the Free World, with television equipment from the United States.

But Petán couldn't remove the plant - or even acquire it - given the links between Pepe Bonilla and Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Martinez (Ramfis).

Because of that, shows like "La hora del moro" (Hour of the Chow) were created, which opened the doors to many young artists who tested their talents.

This program was run by the Dominican musician Rafael Solano and he gave the start of the careers of singers such as Nini Cáffaro.

[2] In 1983, Pedro Bonilla sold the TV station to Grupo Financiero Universal, controlled at the time by Leonel Almonte, who would expand the plant and their television programming, along with Milton Peláez, who launched offers to several shows on Color Visión.

In the early 90s, a program called "Sabadíssimo" was created and was led by José Guillermo Sued but was later removed from the schedule.
