TAM TV (Televisora Andina de Mérida), is a private regional television channel based in Mérida, Venezuela. The station has been on air since 1982 and remains closely connected to the Andean community, largely through local news coverage and public service programming. It is also recognized as one of Venezuela’s earliest regional TV broadcasters.
The schedule leans heavily toward regional news, opinion programs, health content, religious broadcasts, and community-focused segments. Regular titles include Noticias TAM, Buenos Días, Cuarto Poder, and A Tu Salud Mental. The channel also carries selected Spanish-language rebroadcasts from networks such as DW Español and EWTN.

Rather than chasing large-scale entertainment formats, TAM keeps its identity centered on Mérida news, Andean culture, and practical local issues. The overall presentation feels more community-driven than highly commercial, which gives the station a more grounded style compared to many national broadcasters.
The core audience mainly includes viewers across Mérida and the wider Venezuelan Andes region, especially adults looking for local updates and service-oriented programming. Religious and health-focused shows also help keep the lineup family-friendly.
TAM still operates through traditional local broadcasting while steadily expanding its digital presence through YouTube, Facebook, and the station’s official website. Watching online is fairly straightforward, with livestreams and uploaded clips available through its official platforms.
The YouTube feed generally loads in solid quality on regular internet connections, and the interface stays simple enough for quick browsing. Mobile viewing works especially well for short news updates and community programs while on the move.
One convenient aspect is the balance between a traditional local-TV identity and wider digital accessibility. Even viewers outside Mérida, including Venezuelans living abroad, can still follow regional coverage without relying entirely on cable television.
