Canal 1 Live Stream

Canal 1 is one of the oldest television channels in Colombia - it started broadcasting on 13 June 1954 as Canal Nacional, the country's first television station. It has grown into one of Colombia's main free-to-air channels, offering an alternative to the dominant private networks Caracol and RCN.

The channel has kept its generalist character: entertainment, news, variety shows, sports, series and films, with the independent newscast Noticias Uno, produced by CM&, anchoring the news. Educational programmes for children and adults, and coverage of national events, complete the public-service grid.

From Canal Nacional to Canal 1

Canal Nacional went on air on VHF channel 8 in Bogotá, operated by the National Radio of Colombia, passing in 1963 to Inravisión - the public broadcasting institute. For its first twelve years it was the country's only channel. It became the Primera cadena on 1 January 1974, Cadena Uno in the 1980s and Canal Uno at the beginning of 1998, and broadcasts around the clock in its present form since 2014. Since May 2017 a quarter of its programming has come from the production companies CM&, NTC Televisión and RTI Televisión, with a fifth from Hemisphere Media Group - the channel today is owned by HMTV1 and managed by Phoenix Media.
