History

Beginnings

The television station is the first educational and cultural television station of Mexico without commercial ends. The foundation of the channel had like promoters to Alejo Peralta and Diaz Ceballos and Eugenio Méndez Docurro. Both counted on the support of the Secretary of Public Education, Jaime Torres Bodet, and of the Secretary of Communications and Transports, Crossword Buchanan Walter Cross.

Channel 11 initiated transmissions on March 2, 1959 at the Campus facilities of the National Polytechnic Institute by means of a five kilowatt transmitter. The signal was so limited that it was hardly picked up near the station.

Students of the then nearby School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering designed and manufactured small antennas that they gave in some homes so that the users put it in their television and they could tune the new channel.

The first transmission consisted of a Mathematics class given by engineer Vianey Vergara Cedeño, professor of the IPN, at six in the afternoon of Monday, March 2, 1959. This transmission was made in a small study of the campus.

In order to reach the more peripheral homes of the city, which had difficulties to receive the signal, in 1969 it was decided to transfer the transmitter and the antenna to the Cerro del Chiquihuite, located north of the Mexico City.

In the late 1960s, Channel 11 staff turned the broadcast crew originally from Black&White to Color.
