Colombia’s renowned public television news program, Noticias Uno, will be taken off the air, the program’s producer said Sunday.

Noticias Uno, Colombia’s equivalent to PBS NewsHour or BBC News, is arguably the only television news program with editorial independence and is run by some of the country’s most respected journalists.

According to one of the program’s senior reporters, “it will end in a month with the possibility to continue until December. The date hasn’t been defined yet.”

The news program has played a key role in revealing many of the country’s largest corruption and human rights scandals over the past decades.
