City TV Live

This is the Colombian Citytv, the local channel of Bogotá, not the Canadian network of the same name. Owned by El Tiempo Casa Editorial, publisher of the newspaper El Tiempo, it broadcasts in Spanish and is built around daily life in the Colombian capital.

Weekday mornings start with Arriba Bogotá, a news magazine of reports, interviews and street coverage from the city, the rest of Colombia and the world. The CityNoticias newscast has editions at midday, at 8 p.m. and on weekends, while Bravíssimo brings family entertainment, celebrity news and health tips. Traffic, public safety and neighbourhood complaints are recurring topics.

Citytv went on air on 19 March 1999 on UHF channel 21. It licenses the Citytv brand from Canada and, like the Toronto original, became known for anchors reading the news standing up. Its motto, "Por toda Bogotá", sums up the idea: a channel for anyone who wants to follow the city, including Colombians living abroad.
