Their most popular domestically produced shows include the talk show Sanja, the soap opera Zabranjena ljubav,daily magazine Exploziv, domestic sitcom Bibin svijet, and the Croatian version of Big Brother, which was also the most popular television program in Croatia when it was aired. The network also introduced popular German and American action-crime series such as Alarm für Cobra 11, CSI, Cold Case etc. to the Croatian audience. Popular shows from domestic production, Dvornikovi, Mjenjačnica, Wife Swap quickly became very popular amongst wide Croatian audience. They are regularly showing numerous American sitcoms and other television series from both domestic and foreign production as well as popular movies, predominantly from American production. The live broadcasts of sporting events such as boxing fights and Croatia's international football matches are occasionally also part of their program.
