Television channel
Ecuador TV
is the public service channel of
Ecuador
established in October 2007 thanks to a provision of non-reimbursable funds of $5 million of the
Economic and Social Development Bank of Venezuela
(BANDES by its Spanish acronym).
The channel was established at the same time as the installation of the
Ecuadorian Constituent Assembly
so that the sessions could be transmitted live to all the country.
