By 2005, the 1996 logo was returned. RCTV ceased operations on May 28, 2007 as an over-the-air network when Hugo Chávez, which the privately-owned network opposed, forced its shutdown and seized its equipment and infrastructure for the use of state-run network TVes. RCTV has since continued as a cable/satellite network under the name RCTV Internacional until 2010.

2020–2021 (online)[]

In July 2020, the brand returned as a online OTT service but the logo was used before for the company's website beginning in 2016. However, the service was shut down a year later as RCTV preferred to license its content to other Spanish-language streaming services.
