The network broadcast mainly independently-made music covering many genres, mostly rock, electronica, and metal, with some hip hop and reggae. It also promotes and broadcasts many Colombian artists.
In 2005, Bogotá's 99.1 FM would become Radiónica, during that year's Rock al Parque festival in Bogotá. It was known as Señal Radiónica between 2013 and 2015.
Radiónica added its first station outside Bogotá in 2006, with HJXP 99.5 MHz in San Andrés Islas. Later it would expand to Cartagena, Cali and Medellín (2007), and other cities in 2009.
The radio station was directed by Alvaro Gonzalez Villamarin from 2005 to 2019. During that period of time, it became known as Repitionica, due to its insistent play of a small number of songs the director liked, while ignoring other important releases in the music industry at the time.
