The members of the future network explained that its purpose wasn't commercial, but rather given towards Seventh-day Adventist religious beliefs.
[2] At launch, ADvenir signed an agreement with the Three Angels Broadcasting Network to enable access to its programming.
Since the beginning, the channel was made available on satellite, to target Latin America and Spain (over NSS 806).
At the time, the channel had started becoming a success, an electronics store in La Paz had tuned all of its TV sets to ADvenir.
[2] At the end of 2002, the viewership base increased from 500,000 to six million in Bolivia alone, with ten countries having reported receiving the satellite service abroad.
The new satellite signal started on April 21, followed by an agreement to carry ADvenir's programming on Venezuelan regional station Telecaribe for four hours a day during prime time hours, as well as arrangements in El Salvador and the Dominican Republic.
On December 30, Gates finished his payments, otherwise the station would return to Ivo Kuljis, Red Uno's owner.
