History

Some programs of the original Citytv (such as MuchMusic and Electric Circus, whose Colombian versions are Mucha Música and Circo Eléctrico) were adapted to the local audience, while others such as Fashion TV or SeXTV were dubbed until 2007. It also follows the philosophy of the original Citytv: on its newscasts (such as City Noticias and the morning show Arriba Bogotá) the presenters read the news standing up, just like at the Toronto headquarters. In 1999, with the birth of the channel, Sin Cédula stood out, broadcast Monday through Friday from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. This program stood out for giving importance to all the schools that are located in the Bogotá capital. They also broadcast cartoons like Oggy and the Cockroaches and Space Goofs. After 8 years of transmission, in 2007, this program would be replaced by Zonalocha, a youth space that would be the same as its predecessor Without Cédula, the incorporation of anime to the channel's programming grid during this period stands out, in addition blocks would be born such as Nikneim and El Toque, where they were in charge of showing activities that would now be part of the university world, something that previously Citytv only showed but with the schools of all the towns of Bogotá. In 2009 Cool's Cool was born, a program dedicated solely to school activities that exist throughout the city, but in 2011 this program would be replaced by Nick City, a program dedicated to animations and live actions of the American channel Nickelodeon. besides talking about activities of colleges and universities. In 2013 Citytv launched Intervention Colombia and announces an alliance with A & E. 5 On September 6, 2017, the channel launched the new image and the new slogan on the occasion of Pope Francis' visit to Colombia and with the arrival of Claudia Palacios to the channel, who left office in 2019.
