Several news bulletins are provided during the day, covering a mixed Spanish and International agenda. Telediario is a bulletin produced for and also broadcast in Spain, simulcast on the international station. However, editions of Telediario Internacional are also produced specially for the channel. A daily showbiz magazine, Gente, is broadcast nightly at 7pm GMT.

A limited number of advertisements are shown on the channel. More usually, network commercial breaks on programmes broadcast live in Spain are covered with a clock and short information films about Spain and its wildlife, although sometimes the advertisements are shown.

History

TVE International began its test broadcasts on December 1, 1989 and officially on December 1, 1990. In its early years, the channel broadcast a single programme for America and Europe, consisting of a re-broadcast of slots premiered on La 1 and La 2. From April 15, 1991, a differentiated programming was designed for one and other continents. Since 1992, TVE Internacional has been broadcasting via the Astra and Hispasat satellites for Latin America.

The signal of TVE International has been received in Asia and Oceania since December 1995 and in Africa since October 12, 1999.

gollark: Well, *technically*, on this grid it might take slightly longer than the lifetime of the universe.
gollark: Minimax is very general. Work it out.
