At 12:00 PM (Local Time), the networked transmission ends and changed to a mix of lifestyle programming, news bulletins (Teledos) and telenovelas. In the middle of this mixture, the channel airs The Flintstones towards the end of the morning, one of the most popular animated series in the country, having been a "monument" on the channel.
The channel ends transmission 01:00 every night.
On weekends, the channel has a different focus, with TV shows taking most of the schedule.
