Gamavisión is a state-owned Ecuadorian television network. The network was one of Televisa's partners in Ecuador until 2016. The network belongs to financial Group Isaías and is owned by Company Teledos SA Pacific TV.

The channel began transmissions, on April 18, 1977. The station broadcasts as Channel 2 in Quito, Channel 8 in Guayaquil and Channel 9 in Cuenca.

Following the state intervention of Grupo Isaías' assets, reports appeared claiming that the channel wasn't owned by the conglomerate.[1]

After a period of nearly a decade under the names Gama TV and Gama, the channel reverted to its loongtime name on October 16, 2017. The rename came after a case study revealed that viewers still referred to the channel by its former name.[2]
