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: No, those are cool.
gollark: I mean, if people do want a wipe or rollback. I suppose I could do something like giving them one item they had on the previous world, to make starting slightly nicer.
gollark: What does it contain?
gollark: Oh dear. We will be so much worse off without your tiny cobble hut.
