CGTN Spanish (formerly CCTV International Spanish or CCTV-Español and CCTV-E) is the Spanish language entertainment and news channel of China Global Television Network (CGTN), which is part of the state-owned broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV).
CGTN Spanish was launched on October 1, 2007, as CCTV-E. It replaced the bi-lingual Spanish / French language CCTV E&F channel which was launched on October 1, 2004.
In 2016 CCTV-E partnered with the Venezuelan state media channel Telesur to co-produce a cultural program called Prisma.[1]
In 2024, CGTN Spanish spread false information about US Supreme Court rulings in what Politico called "escalating play by Beijing to undermine faith in U.S. democracy."[2] [3]
