Noticias Caracol (until 9 October 2007 Caracol Noticias) is Colombia's Caracol TV newscast. It is broadcast four times on weekdays and twice on weekends. The News Centre was built in nine months before Caracol Noticias first airing, on 10 July 1998. Canadian company Imageneering acted as a consultant. Before becoming a network, Caracol TV produced the morning newscast 7:30 Caracol in the mid-1990s. Several well-known Colombian journalists, such as Claudia Palacios, Érika Fontalvo, and María Cristina Uribe were also presenters of Caracol Noticias. Yamid Amat was its director until March 2002.
[edit] SectionsNoticias Caracol newscasts are divided in sections, grouped in three blocks: "serious" news (regional, national, world news, weather, health), sports, and entertainment. For the world news, Noticias Caracol has signed some agreements with services such as APTN, Reuters, Telemundo, and CNN en Español. Noticias Caracol is also part of the Alianza Informativa Latinoamericana, with ATV (Peru), Ecuavisa (Ecuador), Monte Carlo TV (Uruguay), Telefé (Argentina), Megavisión (Chile), RCTV (Venezuela), TV Azteca (Mexico), Unitel (Bolivia), TVN MAX (Panamá), Teletica (Costa Rica), Band News (Brasil) and Telenica (Canal8) (Nicaragua). This alliance allows Noticias Caracol to use the services of journalists working for the member networks as foreign correspondents in their respective countries. Some of the stories are available at its website as video on demand, as well as at El Espectador's website. Both media outlets are owned by Julio Mario Santo Domingo. [edit] WeekdaysThe 07:00 newscast, presented by Mábel Lara and Rosa María Corcho (or Luz Elena Ramos), focuses on national news —most of them from the day before—, sports, regional news, world news, and entertainment. On this newscast, guests are invited to the set to be interviewed by the presenters. It includes a weather forecast, supported by IDEAM, Colombia's meteorological institute, and a section named ¿Qué pasó con?, where viewers can learn what happened with an old story previously covered on the newscast. The 12:30 newscast, presented by Inés María Zabaraín and Silvia Corzo, is the longest of all (it ends around 15:00), with national, world and sports news. It includes a health section, in charge by doctor Fernanda Hernández, Con-sumo cuidado (a section on rights of the consumers), Ojo ciudadano (a section with denounces submitted by viewers), and Caracol más cerca, where a journalist travels around the country in order to show its diversity. The entertainment block is known as Del otro mundo. The 19:00 newscast is Noticias Caracol flagship news show, presented by Jorge Alfredo Vargas and María Lucía Fernández, where the main events, stories and developments of the day are summarized. It has no health section but it does include a Caracol más cerca abridged section, and Código Caracol, hosted by Silvia Corzo, where some political events and gossip are revealed. The 22:30 newscast lasts 30 minutes and is also Vargas and Fernández. Includes a culture section called Sala múltiple presented by Lina María Arbeláez, instead the entertainment block, and a review of El Espectador's main headlines for the next day. Its broadcasting time had been progressively moved from 21:30 to 22:00, 22:30, 23:00, 23:45, and midnight. It returned to the 22:00 time slot in January 2008[1] but it was moved half hour later since 23 June 2008.[2] [edit] WeekendsThe Noticias Caracol 12:30 and 19:00 newscasts on weekends are presented by Juan Ignacio Velásquez and Luz Elena Ramos. The 12:30 newscast was revamped since 18 April 2009, including, besides the news, specialized sections in law (En todo su derecho, by Silvia Corzo), technology (Click, by Juan Ignacio Velásquez), cinema (by Germán Espinel), cooking (2 x 3, by Pilar Schmitt), health (by Fernanda Hernández), music (by Adriana Tono), and culture (a weekend edition of Sala múltiple, by Lina María Arbeláez).[3] The 19:00 newscast tends to follow the three block rule more conventionally. It includes the El Espectador main headlines review. [edit] See also[edit] References
