Farbfernsehen
On 11 December 1979, regular color television broadcasts started in Colombia using the NTSC standard. Color television had already been introduced in October 1973, when "programadora" Cenpro Televisión made a color broadcast during an education seminar with Japanese-made equipment. The inauguration and the first match of the 1974 FIFA World Cup were broadcast live in color, but they could be seen in color only on big screens in Bogotá and Cali.
