RPC is one of the first television networks from Panama, currently owned by Corporación Medcom (since 1997), and it has a sister radio station under the same name which came a decade prior. It was founded in March 14, 1960 by the brothers Fernando and Carlos Eleta Almarán, leading the arrival of panamanian television. The initals actually stand for Radio Programas Continentales, however the full name is often mentioned on the network.
