History

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]
