Its headquarters are located at 26th Street and 45th Avenue (Calle 26 con Carrera 45) in Bogota.

Between 2013 and 2015 it was rebranded as Señal Colombia Sistema de Medios Públicos.

RTVC SMP has three national television stations (one of which is 25% programmed by the system and 75% by private companies) and two national radio networks.

In digital television, RTVC SMP broadcasts its DVB-T2 multiplex on channel 16 nationwide.

Señal Colombia is devoted to educational and cultural content and is RTVC SMP's flagship channel.
