Overview

teleSUR English is described as a Latin American news outlet based in Quito, Ecuador. Its website publishes international news coverage, including items on Venezuela, Russia, Iran, Cuba, Latin American sports, and world athletics.

History

The teleSUR English website carries an 'About Us' page that presents a timeline of the wider teleSUR network. According to that timeline, teleSUR first broadcast from the Teresa Carreño Theater in Caracas, Venezuela in 2005, with an advisory board that included Nobel Peace Prize winner Adolfo Pérez Esquivel and journalist Ignacio Ramonet. In 2006 the purchase of the CMT channel to use as headquarters was announced, and in 2007 the teleSUR signal reached Cuba through 'Canal Educativo 2' and a new headquarters was inaugurated in Caracas. In 2009, coverage of the coup against then-president Manuel Zelaya in Honduras marked teleSUR's seal as an international news channel, and from that year teleSUR became a multiplatform media outlet with its own website and access to social networks. In 2010, teleSUR's signal was expanded to 123 countries in Europe, the Middle East, and part of Africa through inclusion in the Hotbird satellite. The About Us page states that over its twenty-one years teleSUR has been present at major events in Latin America and the world.
