This seems to act as a promotion for the network. There are, of course, other Colombian radio networks. The only ones with a national presence are Todelar and Super, both commercial, and the evangelical Colmundo network. However, these networks are not in the same league as Caracol and RCN, in terms of market dominance, news coverage, number of stations, etc. Cucuta seemed very similar to nearby San Cristobal, in that both were relatively modern business-oriented cities.
Populations are about the same.
Cucuta's central business district was larger than San Cristobal's, but had few high rises compared to San Cristobal. Cucuta seemed to be a very friendly, safe city. Many Venezuelans had told me that Cucuta does not have the drug- trade and crime problems that one finds in a few other Colombian cities. As I was mostly in Cucuta on a shopping trip, I did not take the time to visit any radio stations. However, I did come across an electronics market - that is a large building with small stalls and stores inside that sell electronics goods.
