Telegalápagos
Telegalápagos is an Ecuadorian television station licensed to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, capital of the Galápagos Islands, on channel 13, with an additional relay station in Puerto Ayora on channel 7.[1]
History
[edit]Tele Galápagos started broadcasting in 1980, twenty years after the first commercial broadcasts were made in the Ecuadorian mainland. The station was installed by the Mission of Saint Francis to the Galápagos Islands with its initial coverage area limited to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. However, the religious mission had plans to increase its coverage area to include the area of El Progreso Parish - 7 km away from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno.[2]
In the 1980s, it was the only television station available in the Galápagos Islands, using a 200W transmitter.[2]
In July 2023, the station alongside Radio Voz de Galápagos signed an agreement with the Salesian Polytechnic University to enable opportunities to future staff.[3]
