Blu Radio

In July 2012, Caracol TV leased HJMD (the frequency of Melodía FM Estéreo, an easy listening station) from Cadena Melodía,[1] in order to create a news radio station.

Test broadcasts started soon after, with a soft AC format and simulcasting Noticias Caracol.

HJMD 96.9 MHz switched to a popular music format (rancheras, tex-mex, etc.)

Blu Radio's schedule is similar to other FM talk stations in Bogotá, mainly W Radio and Caracol Radio: on weekdays, a news/debate morning show, a local programme on midday, variety and sports (mainly football) on the afternoons, and a simulcast of Noticias Caracol and a programme devoted to technology and internet on the evenings.

Weekends include a morning show, sports programming (again, mainly football), and music.
