Despite having "-TV" suffix on the acronym, RCTV wasn't originally a TV station. RCTV (Radio of Civilized Towns and Villages) was originally a radio station established on Thursday, August 24th 1989. Eventually, it started having a TV station also known as RCTV (Reformed Civilized Television) established on Friday, August 24th 1990. However, the radio station RCTV eventually got the callsign KYLA on Monday, April 1st 1991 and this radio station was eventually rebranded as KYLA on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991 as to avoid any confusion with the TV station RCTV.
In the afternoon of Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, the radio broadcaster of then newly rebranded KYLA Radio Station (which by that point had already had the TV station RCTV) said, "Howdy, how's your fasting? I hope we still stay healthy during this fasting month of Ramadan."

Ramadan effect

"Ramadan effect" is the effect where the fasting month of Ramadan is more memorable (read: leave better / more positive impression, stand out brighter) than the other 11 months in the Islamic calendar. For example, if you're a Moslem born between 1965 and 1980, you would remember the things you do on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991 (a date that coincided with the fasting month of Ramadan) whilst waiting for the time to break the fast — better than any other memory throughout your entire lifetime.
If you're a Moslem born between 1965 and 1980, you surely remember Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, waiting to break your fast, much better than any other day. It must be Ramadan effect kicking hard at the time.

transformative years

Coming from the prefix "trans-" (meaning "beyond") and "formative years", this slang term refers to the years after your formative years has ended.
