History
What is now RTS was the first television station in Guayaquil. In 1959, José Rosenbaum bought some equipment from his native Germany. After a few experiments the station signed on for the first time on December 12, 1960, running from 5pm to 10pm every evening. Rosenbaum cleared channel 4 in Guayaquil; in Quito, he planned to clear channel 11, 12 or 13.
The station was operated by Organizaciones Norlop, who signed an agreement with the American network ABC, who owned one third of the shares. The new company also set up channel 6 in Quito, and the holding company was later renamed Telecuador. The station in Quito signed on in 1962.
In early 1970, ABC left Telecuador's operational structure. Its shares were divided between Genaro Parker from Guayaquil and Palm de TV from Panama. That same year, a microwave link was set up between the stations in Quito and Guayaquil. When Teleamazonas started broadcasting in color, the Telecuador staff went on strike due to the disadvantages caused by the new station, leading to the shutdown of the company. Following the strike, Telecuador was sold off and the Quito station was renamed Telecuatro.
