CORTV operates a television network of the same name, with 16 transmitters,[1] and it owns a 32-station FM radio network with an additional station in Oaxaca.[2] The television network has shed 30 transmitters in recent years and also dropped six additional transmitters by failing to convert them to digital.

History

Public broadcasting in Oaxaca began in the early 1980s under Governor Pedro Vásquez Colmenares, with the insertion of local opt-outs into the programming of the Canal 7 network of Imevisión. Original output consisted entirely of plays staged for television by the Compañía Teatral Palo Bravo, as the state lacked production resources. In 1988, the Instituto Oaxaqueño de Radio y Televisión (IORTV) was established.

On March 21, 1989, under the direction of Virgilio Caballero Pedraza, IORTV was reorganized as Radio y Televisión de Oaxaca (RTO). It adopted its present name in 1993.[3]

Television transmitters

CORTV holds virtual channel 9 throughout Oaxaca.
