Jorge Enrique Pulido TV

Jorge Enrique Pulido TV was a Colombian programadora that operated between 1979 and May 1990, owned and operated by the journalist Jorge Enrique Pulido. It is one of the few programadoras to disappear outside of a bidding cycle, doing so six months after his assassination at the hands of the Medellín Cartel in late 1989.[1][2]

History

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[3] and an edition of which he had just finished producing at the Inravisión studios in Bogotá when, leaving the studios, he was killed.[4] The company also presented two kids' programs and two entertainment programs.
