History

edit

ETB3 was launched on October 10, 2008 as EiTB's third own channel, replacing Canal Vasco on Basque Country DTT.[1] It was the second Spanish regional channel aimed at children after Super3 in Catalonia.

Programming

edit

The channel was created with the aim of retaining a new audience to the EiTB channels, so its programming is aimed at children, so most of its programming is occupied by cartoons. The channel broadcasts in Basque language.[2] Previously, the channel also broadcast some cultural and entertainment programs aimed at a teenage audience.
