Terrestrial Television
Terrestrial television or over-the-air television (OTA) is a type of television broadcasting in which the signal transmission occurs via radio waves from the terrestrial (Earth-based) transmitter of a TV station to a TV receiver having an antenna. The term ''terrestrial'' is more common in Europe and Latin America, while in Canada and the United States it is called ''over-the-air'' or simply ''broadcast''. This type of TV broadcast is distinguished from newer technologies, such as satellite television (direct broadcast satellite or DBS television), in which the signal is transmitted to the receiver from an overhead satellite; cable television, in which the signal is carried to the receiver through a cable; and Internet Protocol television, in which the signal is received over an Internet stream or on a network utilizing the Internet Protocol. Terrestrial television stations broadcast on television channels with frequencies between about 52 and 600 MHz in the VHF and U ...

Television
Television, sometimes shortened to TV, is a telecommunication medium for transmitting moving images and sound. The term can refer to a television set, or the medium of television transmission. Television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment, news, and sports. Television became available in crude experimental forms in the late 1920s, but only after several years of further development was the new technology marketed to consumers. After World War II, an improved form of black-and-white television broadcasting became popular in the United Kingdom and the United States, and television sets became commonplace in homes, businesses, and institutions. During the 1950s, television was the primary medium for influencing public opinion.Diggs-Brown, Barbara (2011''Strategic Public Relations: Audience Focused Practice''p. 48 In the mid-1960s, color broadcasting was introduced in the U.S. and most other developed countries.

Datos Y Mensajes
Datos y Mensajes was a Colombian ''programadora'' founded in 1979 by Andrés Pastrana and disestablished in the early 2000s. It mainly focused on news programs, including its flagship program ''Noticiero TV Hoy'' (1979-2001). History In 1991, upon the split of ''programadoras'' across Cadena Uno and Canal A, Datos y Mensajes became part of the former group, which had 12 ''programadoras''. It was one of five on that channel with a license to broadcast news. During this time, it was a member of OTI Colombia, a coalition that also included Producciones PUNCH, Producciones JES, Caracol Televisión, RTI Colombia and RCN Televisión and brought the World Cup and Olympic Games to the country. It moved over to Canal A after the 1998 bidding cycle, where in early 2000 and mid-2001, amidst the growing ''programadoras'' crisis (ironically, under Pastrana's presidency), it was one of several companies that partnered to attempt a coherent programming schedule for the channel from 1:00 to 8:00 ...

Programadora
In Colombian broadcasting, ''programadoras'' (literally ''programmer'') are companies that produce television programs, especially for the public-commercial Canal Uno (and, until 2003, Canal A/Segunda Cadena). The Colombian television model from 1954 to the late 1990s, known as the ''sistema mixto'' ("mixed system"), relied on ''programadoras'' as the sole producers of programs that aired on the two major channels. Following the introduction of two national private television channels to the country in the late 1990s, the recession of that same time period and a resulting combination of falling ratings and declining advertising revenues, the ''programadoras'' went into a tailspin that led to many closing in bankruptcy or becoming production companies for the private networks. By 2003, only seven ''programadoras'' were left on Canal Uno, later reduced to four. In May 2017, Plural Comunicaciones, a consortium including several former ''programadoras'', took total control of Canal Un ...
