Cultural.es was originally known as Hispavisión from its 1994 launch until 2005, and Docu TVE (also known as Docu) from 2005 until 22 April 2009, when the channel became "Cultural.es".[1]

TVE was planning to revamp Cultural.es as Canal Cultura ("Culture Channel") in 2011.[2] However, the channel ceased transmission on 1 September 2010 and closed definitely on 1 January 2011[3] citing economical difficulties as the reason. The programming broadcast in Cultural.es would slowly integrated into TVE's La 2 network, which in turn became the broadcaster's cultural channel in September 2010. Because of the transition and also the completion of digital switchover throughout Spain, sports and children's programming on La 2 were also slowly integrated to TVE's digital thematic channels: Teledeporte and Clan, respectively.

The network bases its schedule on a different type of programming for each day of the week:

Monday: Current affairs
Tuesday: Travel
Wednesday: Science and Technology
Thursday: Art & Culture
Friday: Nature & Ecology
Saturday: Society
Sunday: History
