Caracol TV 6.25

Caracol Televisión is a Colombian private national television network, owned by the Santo Domingo Group.HistoryCaracol Televisión started in 1954 when Organización de Radiodifusora Caracol offered to afford national television costs, then state-run, through commercial spots. At that time its board (Fernando Londoño Henao, Cayetano Betancourt, Carlos Sanz de Santamaría, Pedro Navas, and Germán Montoya) started to suggest the possibility of establishing the first television station in Colombia. One year later that idea was accepted and they decided to share the rights with Radiodifusora Nacional, the state-run company operating the Televisora Nacional, the only television station in Colombia at the time, creating TVC (Televisión Comercial Ltda.), a company which lasted two years.In 1967, Inravisión awarded through a public bidding the then-programadora 45 hours a week; because of this, Caracol Radio spun off Caracol Televisión S. A., having TV shows' marketing and production as its main goal. In 1987 Valores Bavaria group became the main stockholder and prompted a technical and administrative modernization of the company. In the 1990s, prior to becoming a private channel, it, RCN, Producciones PUNCH, Producciones JES, RTI and Datos y Mensajes were the members of OTI Colombia, the group with the license to air the Olympic Games and World Cup.
