The participation of Spain in the OTI Festival began at the first OTI Festival in 1972. The Spanish participating broadcaster was Televisión Española (TVE), subsidiary of Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) and member of the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI). TVE participated in twenty-seven of the twenty-eight editions, only missing the 1986 festival as a protest against the military dictatorship of Chile. It won the festival six times: in 1976, 1981, 1992, 1993, 1995, and 1996; and it hosted the event also six times: in 1972, 1977, 1985, 1992, 1993, and 1994.
