History
It started as a weekend newscast, airing from 8 to 8:45pm. In the ''licitación'' of 1991, it moved to the 1pm weekend timeslot. In 1997, the Turbay family sold its stake in Criptón and instead bought a stake in Andes Televisión, pulling out of that year's ''licitación'' at the same time. However, the other owners of Noticiero Criptón continued on, bidding for and receiving a weekday newscast on TV Andina in 1998. Criptón left the air for the final time in 2000 as a consequence of presenter Hernán Castrillón's death."El maestro de la credibilidad." ''El Tiempo'' 4 April 2000References
