TVE today celebrates their special 60th anniversary since the launch of the television broadcaster. Beginning on the 28 October 1956, the last 60 years has seen the broadcaster grow and expand, now hosting a total of 8 television programmes across the network.

To kick off today’s celebrations, a special 7-hour broadcast aired this morning on TVE including all things Eurovision!
