History

edit

On February 2, 2004, the channel was born under the name "Señal Colombia Institucional", replacing Canal A. As a measure to the public television crisis that year, the channel was created under the control of Inravisión and operated by the programming company Audiovisuales. However, in October of that year, after the dissolution of Inravisión and Audiovisuales by the national government, the channel has since been operated by RTVC Sistema de Medios Públicos.
