Editor's note

This installment is part of a series of special reports commemorating 70 years of Puerto Rican television, highlighting its rich history, from its pioneers to the emblematic telenovelas, game shows and comedy programs that have marked several generations.

Seventy years after the arrival of television in Puerto Rico, there have been many changes that this important means of communication has gone through while adapting to new technologies to maintain its relevance. Of this, not only the talents of the programs nor the reporters of the newscasts have been witnesses, but also the workers who for many are anonymous, and who have also been part of history.
