Telecaribe

The Telecaribe Channel is one of the ten most watched national channels in Colombia. It is a regional public channel, which broadcast from Barranquilla and it has as coverage area the Colombian Caribbean Region. At a national level it can be seen through DTT and by subscription (cable or satellite).

 

The channel has a general-interest programming. It offers different contents for different audiences, emphasizing cultural, social, political and economic values of the Caribbean Region.

 

In 1984, the Centro de Estudios Periodísticos de la Costa, organized in Barranquilla a forum where different sectors were invited to discuss the idea of creating a television channel for the region. As a result of the Forum, a “Project of Creation of Atlantic Coast regional Channel” was created.

 

Then, in 1986 when Telecaribe was officially created linking the seven (7) departments of the Caribbean Region: Guajira, Cesar, Sucre, Magdalena, Atlántico, Bolívar and Córdoba. Initially, the Canal was formed by the following partners: INRAVISIÓN, the Atlántico Department, the Universidad de Cartagena, the Instituto de Cultura y Turismo del Cesar, the Instituto Financiero para el Desarrollo de Córdoba, INFICOR, the Corporación Departamental de Turismo de Guajira, the Instituto de Cultura de Magdalena and the Instituto para el Desarrollo de Sucre. In 2009, the universities of Cartagena and Magdalena, and the District of Barranquilla through its Mayor, Alejandro Char Chaljub (today Mayor of Barranquilla for second term and a member of the Char Family who has a broad economic and political power in the Colombian Caribbean coast) joined as new partners to increase the channel capital.
