TVE Internacional is an internationally-broadcast Spanish language channel run by Spain's national broadcaster, TVE. Programming includes a mix of news, discussion-based programmes and drama and documentaries from TVE's TVE1 and TVE2 Spanish networks. It was launched in 1989. It is broadcasted in Spain and worldwide (especially North America, Hispanic Latin America, and Equatorial Guinea).
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.
In Europe, it is available on the Astra 1E, Eutelsat Hot Bird 2, and Hispasat 1C satellites at 19.2° East, 13° East, and 30° West respectively (as well as on Eutelsat Eurobird at 28.5° East on Sky Digital, albeit encrypted, in contrast to the other transmissions in the clear on the other satellites). In the Americas, it is available as part of RTVE's Digital Package for America on Hispasat 1C (encrypted). In Asia, it is available on AsiaSat 2 at 100.5° E and PanAmSat 8 at 166° E (both in the clear).
