Red Uno de Bolivia

started making test broadcasts, without the permission of the Bolivian authorities, despite problems the country was facing, such as hyperinflation and lack of social control.

The government shut down PROTEL's broadcasts and later Kuljis spoke with mayor Velarde to grant him a private television station.

[8] Cruceña de Televisión (Channel 13) was established on February 2, 1984[9] and launched on the air on April 1, 1984, owned by Ivo Kuljis.

Teleandina's first programs were Virgul, an animated cartoon; the America's Top 10; Julio Sabala specials and Italian Football on Sunday mornings.

[13] In November 1994, a new stage of technological growth begins with a new transmission equipment adapted to work at an altitude of 4000 meters above sea level and with a power of 5 kW.

The work carried out made it possible to improve the quality of the signal, thus perfecting the sharpness of the image; and a greater reach allowing a wide national coverage.

Rumors began cirgulating in 2001 that Eric Jürgensen was set to return to Bolivia as the director of programs of Red Uno.

[15] The digitization process started in 2004, when Red Uno bought a 10 kilowatt Harris Platinum transmitter for the station in Santa Cruz de la Sierra.

Three years earlier (2008), the network was in third place (18%)[19] In 2012, Red Uno inaugurated new studios located in Santa Cruz and the modernization of its equipment to be able to broadcast and record in HD.

Its programming until its crisis was still notable for telenovelas from TV Globo (Brazil), Caracol (Colombia), Latin Media Corporation (India).

What characterized the channel as an alternative to Unitel and ATB, were more realities and the mixture of its own programs, classic CBS series and even fiction, and national TV shows (such as the former ¡Qué familiaǃ Los Serrano for example, the first sitcom made in Bolivia[20]).

[23] The network premiered a local adaptation of Televisa's format Bailando por un Sueño in 2015, with a second season announced in July of that year.

[31] The transmitter of the Cochabamba station was damaged by a dynamite attack on September 16, 2008, a few months after the Unitel affiliate in Yacuiba suffered the same to its facilities.
