Globovisión is a Venezuelan 24-hour news channel based in Caracas. Its backbone is Noticias Globovisión, the channel's own newscast, which runs through the day with politics, the economy, crime and stories from Venezuela's regions, alongside international news.
Between bulletins the schedule makes room for interview programmes, sport, culture and entertainment, including celebrity news from the Venezuelan scene. The current motto is "La noticia es tendencia", and the channel also produces podcasts under the name La Voz del Podcast GV.
Globovisión first went on air on 1 December 1994, founded by Guillermo Zuloaga, Alberto Federico Ravell, Luis Teófilo Núñez and Nelson Mezerhane, and launched its own newscast in 1996, still the core of its programming. The channel was sold in 2013 and is owned by businessman Raúl Gorrín. Everything is in Spanish, which makes it a useful channel for anyone following Venezuela closely or brushing up on Latin American Spanish.
