Caracol Televisión is Colombia’s most-watched private television channel and one of the leading distributors of Spanish-language content worldwide. In 2025 it maintained its leadership position and expanded its presence with the launch of its free streaming platform, “Ditu.”
Caracol Televisión
Founded in 1969, Caracol Televisión currently has 2.040 employees. The quality of its content has made it the channel of choice for the Colombian households.
The company has established itself as one of the leading benchmarks of Colombian television, with a track record built on innovative and successful content. Its growth rests on the quality and strength of its programming, which has steadily reinforced its brand positioning and allowed it to extend its reach to international audiences through its distribution division and international signal.
In 2025, this performance was reflected in outstanding audience results, including the leadership of Gol Caracol and the best historical share ever recorded by Desafío Siglo XXI. In its first year, Ditu also became Caracol Televisión’s leading digital platform, surpassing 9 million downloads, 2,5 million active users, and 55 million hours consumed. The platform marks a strategic step in the company’s digital expansion, broadening its ecosystem and relevance in the audiovisual market.
The channel also received two Simón Bolívar Awards in 2025. The first was granted to Ricardo Andrés Ospina and Mateo Piñeros Vargas for their Blu Radio piece on the 40th anniversary of the Palace of Justice siege and the alleged military pact of silence surrounding it. The second was awarded to Diego Rubio Lince for a segment on the program “Los Informantes”.
Blu Radio also consolidated its position as Colombia’s most-listened-to talk radio station. According to ECAR 2-2025, it reached more than 1.9 million listeners, ranking first in audience measurements — including the Monday-to-Friday 6–10 a.m. slot — and leading in major cities such as Cali, Medellín, and Barranquilla.
