Citytv Bogotá is a local
television station in
Colombia's capital city. It is owned by the
Casa Editorial El Tiempo (CEET), which publishes the main national Colombian daily
newspaper El Tiempo, as well as other magazines such as
Portafolio,
Cambio,
Motor, and
Carrusel. CEET licensed the
Canadian television system's
Citytv brand. It started broadcasting on March 19, 1999 on
UHF channel 21 in
Bogotá.
Some programs from the original Canadian station (like
MuchMusic and
Electric Circus, whose Colombian versions are
Mucha Música and
Circo eléctrico) are versioned for local audience, while others, like
FashionTelevision or
SexTV are dubbed versions. It also follows the philosophy of the original Citytv: at its news shows (as
Citynoticias and the morning wide show
Arriba Bogotá) anchors read the news standing up from various parts of the studio / newsroom.
Citytv Bogota contributes with its own material to the
video sharing website
Citytv.com.co which also serves as Citytv Bogota only website.
