History
América Televisión (unrelated to the Peruvian channel of the same name) started broadcasting test signals on September 28, 1985 and went regular on November 3, being founded by Banco Mercantil Santa Cruz. The station was broadcast on channel 6, and was owned by Miguel Dueri, owner of the Dueri y Cía record label, with assistance from Rolando and Gonzalo Chiappe. The station was initially branded as ATC 6 (América Televisión Color).[2] The Chiappes assisted in the establishment of Paceña de Televisión (channel 9), but quit early on in order to help establish ATC.[3] Carlos Mesa, who in 1990 founded PAT, worked as a news editor between 1986 and 1987.[4]
In the mid-90s, during a massive network realignment, Asociación Boliviana de Canales (the network ABC was affiliated to) was dissolved. The station was acquired by Ernesto Asbún in 1998, moving Bolivisión from channel 2 while enabling Unitel Bolivia to get a station in the city.[5]
