Before the bidding cycle of 1997, Ángel sold his stake to Roberto García-Peña, a journalist at '' El Tiempo'' newspaper. Before the closing of the bidding cycle, the family of ex-president Julio César Turbay Ayala had bought the majority of Andes, announcing at the same time that it would withdraw the renewal of the license of the ''programadora'' Noticiero Criptón, whose main production was the newscast by the same name that had aired since 1987.

Programadora
In Colombian broadcasting, ''programadoras'' (literally ''programmer'') are companies that produce television programs, especially for the public-commercial Canal Uno (and, until 2003, Canal A/Segunda Cadena). The Colombian television model from 1954 to the late 1990s, known as the ''sistema mixto'' ("mixed system"), relied on ''programadoras'' as the sole producers of programs that aired on the two major channels. Following the introduction of two national private television channels to the country in the late 1990s, the recession of that same time period and a resulting combination of falling ratings and declining advertising revenues, the ''programadoras'' went into a tailspin that led to many closing in bankruptcy or becoming production companies for the private networks. By 2003, only seven ''programadoras'' were left on Canal Uno, later reduced to four. In May 2017, Plural Comunicaciones, a consortium including several former ''programadoras'', took total control of Canal Un ...
