After a period of testing, as of January 18, it begins its journey with the best fiction series and entertainment programs on Spanish Television.

After a period of testing, Star HD, RTVE's new high-definition thematic channel for America, will begin its definitive broadcasts next Monday, January 18. It will complement TVE Internacional and Canal 24 Horas and will focus on entertainment programs and successful fiction series.

The signal will be encoded and distributed through the different American pay television operators. It has a potential audience of 400 million viewers.

RTVE, through TVE Internacional and the 24-hour channel, reaches more than 100 million homes in 200 countries around the world. Its potential audience on the 5 continents is close to 450 million viewers, being the first group with worldwide projection in Spanish.

TVE Internacional is distributed through 4 different signals to more than 600 television platforms. Its level of assessment in recent studies reaches notable acceptance.

Star HD is RTVE's commitment to bringing the best entertainment programs and fiction series to all its followers on the American continent. With this new channel, we want to take advantage of the advantages offered by high definition technology to improve the experience of the international viewer of Spanish Television.

Its programming will include the series that have obtained the best audience results in Spain, as well as awards in various international competitions. Fictions like 'Isabel', whose broadcast rights have been acquired by television stations in some 90 countries; 'The Lady'; 'Great Reserve'; 'The Mysteries of Laura'; 'Olmos y Robles' and emblematic series such as 'Cuéntame como paso', 'Águila Roja', or 'El Ministerio del Tiempo', the revelation series of last year in Spain.

The entertainment programs will also seek, to a certain extent, to provide a vision of Spain and its cultural diversity. The first broadcasts will correspond to spaces such as 'Spaniards in the world', 'Destino España', 'Comando Actualidad' or 'A country to eat'.
