On that day , a new brand transmitter mixers was operated for the first time.  Unplugged concerts with colombian composer/singer Andrés Cepeda as well as appearances of other special guests were aired  among which  a new musical alternative, the Bomba Stereo band.

Seventy years ago, the Colombian National Public Radio was born as an off-shoot and parent institution to the Ministry of National Education. In those years, the HJN, as it was called at that time , was the first state-owned radio project in Colombia.

To-day the Colombian National Public Radio programmes reflects a whole range of local and world accents, traditions and sounds. At the same time, RNC offers pleasant air spaces that attract audience  to local and global news.
