[edit] History

Originally called El Observador Creole (its original sponsor was The Creole Oil Company, hence the name), it began service on November 16, 1953 (the day after Radio Caracas Television was inaugurated), and was presented by Francisco Amado Pernia. Twenty years later, El Observador Creole changed its name to El Observador Venezolano. In the early 1980's, it became known as just El Observador.

Over the years, El Observador had been hosted by a number of people such as Tinedo Guia (now retired), Eladio Larez (now president of RCTV), Alba Cecilia Mujica (now at Globovisión), and Jaime Suarez (now at Televen).

On July 18, 2005, the Centro Nacional de Noticias (eng: National Center for News), El Observador's new headquarters, was inaugurated. The ribbon was cut by Empresas 1BC President Marcel Granier and RCTV President Eladio Larez. It is located in Quinta Crespo, a neighborhood near central Caracas where Radio Caracas Television's other studios can be found.
