All of the channel's content is dubbed into Albanian. The audio track can be switchable to the original language of dubbing as well; a similar system to SAP. A few shows on the channel are Albanian original.
The channel airs promos featuring its mascot, four letters modded after a pig that spell the word Çufo. The title and the music of the channel are based on a famous 1982 Albanian cartoon, Ndodhitë e Çufos (Çufo's events). No commercials or promos are shown between shows, but rather after them.
Currently, all of the programming is legally broadcast on the channel, like its sister channel, Bang Bang. Although, in the past, they have broadcast illegal dubbed cartoons.
