HJN was the first Colombian radio station, owned and operated by the Colombian state through its Ministry of Education. [2]
In 1924, during the administration of President Pedro Nel Ospina, some lands in Puente Aranda were reserved for a Telefunken transmitter.[3] The studio was initially located inside the National Capitol.[4] On 5 September 1929 broadcasts started, with a series of speeches from a theatre in Chapinero and music by Alejandro Wills and Pedro Morales Pino.[2] In downtown Bogotá, the first programme was heard by a crowd which listened to speakers installed by the government.[3][4]
The programming alternated news bulletins, classical music, and live concerts.[2][4] During a period of time, some time slots were rented to private citizens and commercial ads were broadcast, until the administration of Enrique Olaya Herrera.[2] Cultural and educational programming increased during 1932-1933, when Daniel Samper Ortega, director of the National Library of Colombia, became the director of HJN. [3]
The station closed in November 1937, during the first administration of Alfonso López Pumarejo, for financial and technical reasons.[3] HJN would be succeeded by the Radiodifusora Nacional de Colombia, which started broadcasts 1 February 1940.[2]
