The story

The company was awarded one hour a week of programming in 1979 — a paltry amount for a programadora to receive. The programs he aired were of the current affairs/public interest variety, including shows such as Canal Abierto, Las Investigadores and the news program Noticiero Mundovisión, which he hosted at the time of his death and an edition of which he had just finished producing at the Inravisión studios in Bogotá when, leaving the studios, he was killed. The company also presented two kids' programs and two entertainment programs.
