History

In 2008, the Junta de Castilla y León began the tender for the delivery of DTT broadcast licenses in the region, due to the fact that Castilla y León lacked regional television channels, unlike most of the Spanish autonomous communities.{{cite web |title=Convocado el concurso de TDT regional en Castilla y León |url=https://diezromeo.com/media_press/notas_de_prensa/convocado-el-concurso-de-tdt-regional-en-castilla-y-leon |website=D&RA |access-date=12 October 2022 |language=es |date=11 April 2008}}

On January 24, 2009, the two licenses were granted to the company Radio Televisión de Castilla y León.{{cite web |title=Radio Televisión de Castilla y León logra licencia para explotar la TDT autonómica |url=https://www.diariodeleon.es/articulo/cultura/radio-television-castilla-leon-logra-licencia-explotar-tdt-autonomica/200901240432001008896.html |website=Diario de León |access-date=12 October 2022 |language=es |date=24 January 2009}}

The channel began its broadcasts on March 9, 2009, with the name CyL7 to invite the public to place it at number 7 on television following the logical channel number.{{cite web |title=Nace CYL, la nueva televisión autonómica de Castilla y León |url=https://www.formulatv.com/noticias/10615/nace-cyl-la-nueva-television-autonomica-de-castilla-y-leon/ |website=Fórmula TV |access-date=12 October 2022 |language=es |date=7 March 2009}} In September 2011 the channel was renamed CyLTV.{{cite web |title=CyLTV, más castellana y leonesa que nunca |url=https://www.cyltv.es/Noticia/20067328-AEB7-7A92-372E8E290A95F4DF/cyltv/mas/castellana/leonesa/nunca |website=cyltv.es |access-date=12 October 2022 |language=es |date=31 August 2011}} In 2019 the channel underwent another identity change, when it was renamed La 7, returning to one of the channel's original names.{{cite web |title=«CyLTV estrena hoy nueva imagen corporativa de La 7 - rtvcyl.es» |url=https://www.rtvcyl.es/noticia/BE4F1235-0093-D86E-5E86297E8ECB6B93/20190108//cyltv/estrena/nueva/imagen/corporativa/7 |website=rtvcyl.es |access-date=12 October 2022 |language=es |date=8 January 2019}}

Programming

La 7 broadcasts general programming, highlighting news and entertainment programs. The channel must also fulfill some public service functions since it acts as the regional television for Castilla y León despite being privately owned.
