Venezolana de Televisión (Spanish for: Venezuelan Television) or VTV is a state-run television channel based in Caracas, Venezuela, which can be seen throughout the capital and surrounding areas on channel 8. Programs that can be seen on VTV included Aló Presidente and Telesur Noticias.
VTV has produced a number of telenovelas, including titles such as Ifigenia, Doña Perfecta, 1810 and La Dueña. 1984's La Dueña was perhaps its most successful and popular production.
During the Bolivarian government, VTV has been used by the government to campaign against Venezuela's opposition and Venezuela's privately owned media, with about 75% of its programming transmitted to Venezuelans consisted of Bolivarian propaganda. In 2004, VTV produced another telenovela, Amores de Barrio Adentro, but it was only seen once a week and lasted only a few months. In August 2014, VTV celebrated its 50th anniversary.
