ETB 3 (ETB Hiru) is the third television channel from the Euskal Irrati Telebista group in the Basque Autonomous Community, Navarre and the French Basque Country in Spain. The channel broadcasts entirely in Basque.

The channel's offer is for children and young people, offering multiple animated and youth fiction series mainly from the Betizu program. It also broadcasts cultural spaces, both informative spaces and documentaries and programs of its own production. The channel aims to retain the young audience in the public television of the Basque Country, with an offer similar to other channels of the same theme, such as SX3 in Catalonia.

History

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

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 broadcasts some cultural and entertainment programs aimed at a teenage audience. ^[1]
