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 ...

This is because in the period 1995-96, Inravisión experimented with 24-hour broadcasting for its two commercial channels. This was nowhere near a financial success for any of the involved parties; all four morning news programs (''En vivo'', ''Buenos Días Colombia'' and programs from Caracol and RCN) were losing money.
