Channel 5 was inagurated in 1964, making it the only local TV channel, although a satellite of Channel Seven -the Argentina's only public station- was (and still is) available on channel 8. In the beginning, the station had a small transmitter capable of broadcasting at just 200 W. The first newscast of the station was "Noticinco". Other early shows included "Demos una Mano" ("Let's Help") and "Tertulia Hogareña" ("Home Theater").
Children's programming
Maybe the best remembered children shows on Channel 5 were "Capitán Kapote" and "Esperando a Papá" ("Waiting for Daddy"), both produced in the 70's. The cartoons were popular too, including famous American shows like "
Top Cat ", "The Jetsons " and "Bugs Bunny ". Today, the channel broadcasts children shows from the Telefe network exclusively, although some of them are pre-empted or shown on alternate slots to accommodate local newscasts and public affairs programming.International programming
Channel 5 used to rely deeply on American imports during its time as an independent station. Among the most famous series broadcasted in the 70's were "Bonanza", "
Combat! " and "The Fugitive".Educational and cultural programming
Since 1994, the channel offers a daily mini-program called "Rosario, Patrimonio de Todos" ("Rosario, People's Heritage"). The show offers a retrospective to the city's history and its importance in the building of Argentina.
