A TV colombiana entre o público e o privado: tensões políticas, econômicas e culturais na distinção histórica de modelos televisivos.

In Colombia, the history of television oscillated between different levels of participation and the state and the private management, in a unique mixed scheme in the world. The tensions between the actors involved in this context and the commercial and cultural expectations present there, created different models that determined ownership structures, contents and forms of work; molding the decisive role that TV occupied in society over time. Based on a documentary investigation and the analysis of stories about Colombian TV, the article problematizes these issues and points out the historical distinction of an initial project of a nation, by television, which gradually became commercialized.
