History

Repretel bought the station from rival Teletica, due to a mismanagement from the leasing company operating the station, forcing the sale; Repretel was growing fast, leasing Channel 9 and 6; became the first TV-station owned and operated in Costa Rica.

In 1996, the channel briefly relayed channel 6. On March 1, 1997, the channel became independent again, airing a schedule consisting primarily of imported cartoons and telenovelas.[1] On June 9, 2003, the channel interchanged schedules with Repretel 4 and changed focus to Latin American entertainment, including news and variety shows from Telemundo and Univisión.[2]

Programming

Main programming consists in US TV-Series dubbed in Spanish, imported shows from Televisa and Univision, the Latin reality show "Combate" and Informe11 news.[3]
It's the second most watched channel from the network, behind Repretel 6.

gollark: It seems to still be 14nm. Great job, Intel!
gollark: Maybe they worked out how to turn of access to it.
