The channel was inaugurated on July 6, 2006 by then Caracas metropolitan mayor, Juan Barreto, with an investment of about 11 million bolívares fuertes ($5.1m United States dollars).
The channel was transferred to the Venezuelan Ministry of Communications and Information, MINCI, as established in the Gaceta Official Nº 39.083 date 18 December 2008, 11 days after opposition politician Antonio Ledezma assumed power as mayor of Caracas. Controversial changes in management and dismissal of employees who volunteer much of their time has caused concern among some of the collective and its audience that the staff of the national government are trying to stifle the wide-ranging critical voice the station has presented.[1]
In December 2015, a decision was taken to re-politicize the channel and include pro-government news programs, movies and documentaries.[citation needed]
Ávila TV has a very urban-oriented programming, mostly made by young producers that don't come from the traditional media and have not been formally educated as broadcasters. Avila also holds a school of media producers called EMPA (Escuela Metropolitana de Producción Audiovisual) where they include youngsters and other members of the public who want to learn about media production, trying to attract people from the most populated areas of Caracas. Ávila also features foreign programs from other Hispanic American countries, Spain and Japan, as well as films and documentaries. The varied programming includes both short clips or common 30-minute/1 hour long programs.
