RST 11

The Rilchide Social Television (known by it's signal RCPR-TV, which is short for Communist Party of Rilchide), was a television station owned and admistered by the Communist Party, which transmitted propaganda against the capitalist television stations, and supported Venezuela in the Operation Guzman Blanco. It has been closed since 2011.

## History

### Foundation, as RCA-Victor Television RVIC-TV (1969)

RCA-VIctor made a factory in a poor suburb in Michiton, and to advertise it's televisers, they had to make a television station made by Americans, with it's signal RVIC-TV (Short for RCA-Victor, the company that owns the station), in channel 11. The first transmission to air in the channel was Victor News, with William Aisha.

RVIC-TV was one step behind the other television stations, and rebroadcasted programming from NBC. Many Americans immigrated to Rilchide to get jobs there.

### Overthrow by the Communist Party of Rilchide (1976)

Since the years of the Cold War, the popularity of the Communist Party went spreading like fire, and as response for not winning any elections, they declared to raid RVIC-TV, whilst led to the killing of 20 Americans working on the station, with only 99 or less injured. Since then, the Communist Party owned the station, with it's first owner being Bast Robins, which had been already graduated from a technical university. The radio station, however, was still broadcasting, and since then, every 3rd of October, they dedicate an hour of silence for the fallen in the former RVIC-TV station.

The first transmission was an opera version of the Internationale.. It's programming roster was all filled with Soviet comedy series, along with Czech operas and Spanish cartoons of it's era, because this was a force of the Party to broadcast the series. It then changed it's signal to RCPR-TV one year later.

### The Fourth Star (1980-1993)

When the RST rebranded, many poor people with need of a job, were satisfied with the propaganda that the RST gave. Since then, programs like Here Comes Luxy and Mary and Strike, both made by independent, hobby artists along with the new newscast program, RST On Air, the ratings blew up to 91% of the audience, in 1981.

The Fourth Star was named for RST, because only 3 channels maintained the audience of Television in Rilchide: GTC, Tele-Rilchide, and Canal R. Since it's popularity, they had to put a star on the logo of that era, and thus, promoting the channel with more live-action series. It was the golden era of the television station.

RST reached it's highest peak, when it was the sole transmitter to broadcast the 1988 RPL final.

### End of the Cold War, return of the propaganda, and independent radio station (1993-2001)

After the Cold War ended 2 years ago, they returned to transmit propaganda and keep the comedy shows to a limit, because the Communist party stated that "Promoting our channel in a capitalist way is an insane thought to keep our channel alive". Since then, all promotions have been restricted to the Party, and thus, having a lower pitch on the audience, and increase on fines.

1996 was the worst year of RST, when the programming consisted of art created by Jerman Hopkins, which was the main artist of the propaganda the Party gave, in only 7 months, and then, news programming 24 hours a week, in 2 months.

In the next year, the regular programming returned, but this time, they had to focus on the programation from 20 years ago, and since then, the "Fourth Star" had it's beginning of it's end.

### Revolt and failed renaissance (2003-2008)

A revolt made by the workers who worked in the station were receiving too many penalties for the work that has been done. They even hijacked the station with color bars, and texts that bigoted the corporation, which then turned into a massive chaos.

In middle of the chaos, three National Ministries had a case with the television station for transmitting "unnecesary and unwanted programming". The RST, then, won the case, leading the employees to burn the director's room.

The revolt ended with a letter from two of the three ministries, on which had a bigger impact on the RST. Since then, the station had plans to be more focused on entertainment programs, all of which have failed.

### Restoration, as RST 11 (2008-2010)

Since the revolt, some former workers have returned to the new, changed installations, and established a system. That system was the one that upgraded the television station, as RST 11. A huge enrollment for actorship was held in these installations, and then, raising it's viewer rate by 78%.

RST, because of it's resurging fame, had plans for a radio station, which was then opened in 2009, as RCRP-FM 96.2.

### Operation Guzman Blanco and decline (2010-2011)

Since the Operation Guzman Blanco started, many employees joined forces with the national army to combat the Venezuelan forces. Some of the programs were cancelled, and replaced with programming from the 1970's, some of them which are from the former RVIC-TV station.

As Rilchide emerged victorious, the government gave a very hard decision to the station: To join the National Television Services, or shut down the television and radio stations for good. The Communist Party denied both things, as it was "very irresponsible for our station to mix our traditions with capitalist pigs". The government stated that "they never changed it's behavior", so they decided to shut down.

The final programming, however, lasted only 8 weeks, and it was consisting of independent films and new gaming shows. The last minutes of the television station ended with words from the Communist Party, with Bella Stington's singing of "Fair Rilchide", of it's own authority, from 1979.

The announcer, which was credited as Sean Bullwick, announced the closing of the station in it's final minutes, along with a test card with the logo of the station, which remained for 4 hours.

The radio station played the anthem of Rilchide three times to honor the television station in 2012, and it continued on air until 2018, when it was replaced by Duncan Radio, owned by a private, independent company.
