Noticias Caracol

The 5:30 a.m. newscast, presented by Catalina Gomez Sanchez and Juan Diego Alvira, 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 newscast currently airs from 5:30-8:30 a.m.

The 12:30 midday newscast, presented by Mónica Jaramillo, Vanessa de la Torre and Mábel Lara, lasts one hour, but until early 2011, when a new season of El precio es correcto premiered, was the longest of all (it ended around 15:00). The newscast includes national, world and sports news, as well as 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. It airs from 12:30-3:15 p.m.

The 7:00 p.m. 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 Mábel Lara, where some political events and gossip are revealed. It airs from 7:00-8:00 p.m.

The 11:30 p.m. newscast lasts 30 minutes and is presented by Alejandra Giraldo or Jennifer Montoya. It 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] and again in 2011 to 22:45. Currently, it airs as Ultima Edicion from 11:30 p.m.-12:00 a.m.

The Noticias Caracol 12:30 midday and 7:00 p.m. newscasts on weekends are presented By Alejandra Giraldo and Jennifer Montoya. 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 and later by Paola Bermúdez), 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). The midday newscast currently airs from 12:30-2:00 p.m.[3]

The 7:00 p.m. newscast tends to follow the three-block rule more conventionally. It includes a brief segment reviewing the main headlines for the following day’s edition of the El Espectador newspaper. Just like weeknights, it also airs from 7:00-8:00 p.m.
