La 7 is a Spanish television channel, launched in 2009. It was founded and started to broadcast in 2009. CYLTV currently broadcasts in Spanish.
In 2008, the Junta de Castilla y León began the tender for the delivery of DTT broadcast licenses in the region, due to the fact that Castilla y León lacked regional television channels, unlike most of the Spanish autonomous communities.[1]
On January 24, 2009, the two licenses were granted to the company Radio Televisión de Castilla y León.[2]
The channel began its broadcasts on March 9, 2009, with the name CyL7 to invite the public to place it at number 7 on television following the logical channel number.[3] In September 2011 the channel was renamed CyLTV.[4] In 2019 the channel underwent another identity change, when it was renamed La 7, returning to one of the channel's original names.[5]
La 7 broadcasts general programming, highlighting news and entertainment programs. The channel must also fulfill some public service functions since it acts as the regional television for Castilla y León despite being privately owned.
