UNITEL (UNIVERSAL DE TELEVISIÓN)[1] is a Bolivian commercial television network headquartered in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. It was founded in 1987 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra as Teleoriente, which in 1997 created the current network and bought two Telesistema Boliviano stations. It is owned by businessman Osvaldo Monasterio Nieme.[2] The company broadcasts sports, entertainment, political programs, and daily news programs nationwide in the South American country.[3]
