RCN Televisión is a Colombian private television network. It started as a production company (programadora) in 1967. Since 1998 it became a network by acquiring one of the two licenses granted by the Colombian government (the other Colombian private TV network is Caracol TV).
RCN reaches 97% of the Colombian population through 13 stations. Its main shareholder is Carlos Ardila Lülle.
RCN stands for Radio Cadena Nacional ("National Radio Network").
[edit] Radio Casa de Nariño
Some critics of President Álvaro Uribe Vélez claim that RCN has adopted positions that they consider as too favorable towards his government. As a result, they have reinterpreted the RCN acronym to also mean Radio Casa de Nariño (a reference to the Presidential residence), notably in informal conversations and in online postings.
