History

The abstract plan behind Telecafé began in 1984, when the first approaches to formulate the project began, then in 1986, the first test broadcasts were conducted. In 1990, the company was formed, and began broadcasting two years later. Unlike the more established regional channels, the station was entirely responsible for its programming until 1994.[1]
