Canal 1 (English: Channel 1; pronounced "Canal Uno" (Spanish pronunciation: [kanˈal ˈuno]) is a Colombian state-owned television channel. It is owned by the Government of Colombia and managed by Phoenix Media, a private company. From 1957 to 2017, the channel was administered by private programming companies known as programadoras (television production companies; literally, "programmers"), which bid for time slots with the Colombian state.
