Bésame Radio[]
2003-2008[]
In 2003, Caracol was relaunched as Bésame Radio. A radio station focused in romantic and ballad songs in Spanish and English. In January 1, 2007 the station was closed in Santiago de Chile, broadcasting only in provinces and online. A year later, in March 2008, Bésame was fully-closed and replaced in many locations with Radio Imagina, its natural successor. This is because CRC merged with Iberoamerican Radio Chile (founded by Claxson Interactive Group) into the current conglomerate Ibero Americana Radio Chile.
