History
Almavision Television began broadcasting on December 28, 2002, as VidaVision on channel 25 in Los Angeles, California. In early 2003, they learned that there was another group in Florida using that name so they changed their name to Almavision (meaning "Soul Vision").
The network was founded by Juan "Bruno" Caamaño. According to Caamaño, "I was praying and meditating on the Word of God when I received an instruction from the Lord to establish a television ministry".{{cite web |title=Alma Vision Televisión Cristiana |language=es |publisher=Almavision New York Hispanic Network |url=http://www.almavisionnewyork.net/historia.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080714114145/http://almavisionnewyork.net/historia.php |archive-date=July 14, 2008}}
