Our history
In 2005, a landmark event in the Catholic world set the stage for launching this project: the death of Pope John Paul II. Four stations from the Americas — Colombia (Caracol Televisión), Argentina (Telefé), Venezuela (R.C.T.V), and Ecuador (Canal 1) — joined forces to cover this event. Thus, this great initiative emerged, now in operation for over two decades, uniting 22 sister countries.
This alliance includes strategic operational integration for content generation, shared use of technical and production resources, harnessing global technology to stay interconnected.
In 2014, CBS News from the United States, the world’s third-largest television station, confirmed its cooperative relationship with the Alliance. Additionally, AIL has agreements with global organizations such as ENEX, Voice of America, China Media Group, Emirates News Agency WAM, AsiaVision (ABU), and African Union of Broadcasting (AUB).
