History
On November 11, 2003, former Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez inaugurated ViVe TV at the National Library in Caracas. Following its launch on ultra high frequency (UHF) channel 24, Chávez described the event as significant and referred to it as part of a broader struggle over media influence in Venezuela, criticizing what he called "media dictatorship" at the national and international level.
In 2018, Jorge Amorín was appointed president of ViVe TV by the Ministry of Popular Power for Communication and Information.
In 2020, Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro announced that ViVe TV would be transferred to the Ministry of Education for use as the central television channel supporting the completion of the school year during the COVID-19 quarantine.
