The participation of Nicaragua in the OTI Festival began at the third OTI Festival in 1974. The Nicaraguan participating broadcasters were Televisión de Nicaragua (Telenica), Televicentro de Nicaragua, and the Sistema Sandinista de Televisión (SSTV), which were members of the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI). They participated in twenty-three editions after their debut, only missing the 1978 and 1979 festivals, due to the Nicaraguan Revolution, and the 1986 festival; and won the festival once, in 1977.
