PJC-TV, also known as TeleCuraçao, is a television station that broadcasts on NTSC channel 8 in Curaçao, with a repeater in Bonaire on channel 6 . The station was founded on July 31, 1960 as the Netherlands Antilles' first television station. American broadcaster Gerald Bartell founded the station with the assistance of the local government, and assisted Telearuba in starting up later on. At one point, the station had expanded across the remaining ABC islands with repeaters (such as on Aruba).
Initially, the station aired mostly American series (such as Gunsmoke), with local news, but gradually began producing more and more of its own programming, to rely less on American imports, and cater more to local tastes.
