Blu Radio is a radio station in Bogotá, Colombia, owned by Caracol TV.

In July 2012, Caracol TV leased HJMD (the frequency of Melodía FM Estéreo, an easy listening station) from Cadena Melodía,^[1] in order to create a news radio station. Test broadcasts started soon after, with a soft AC format and simulcasting Noticias Caracol.

Bluradio started definitive broadcasts 6 September 2012.^[2] The news director is Noticias Caracol presenter Juan Roberto Vargas, and the morning news programme will be presented by Néstor Morales, former Caracol Radio personality.

Its main competitors are W Radio, La FM, Caracol Radio, and RCN Radio.

Programming

Bluradio's schedule is similar to other FM talk stations in Bogotá, mainly W Radio and Caracol Radio: on weekdays, a news/debate morning show, a local programme on midday, variety and sports (mainly football) on the afternoons, and a simulcast of Noticias Caracol and a programme devoted to technology and internet on the evenings. Weekends include a morning show, sports programming (again, mainly football), and music.
