El Trece is Channel 13 of Buenos Aires, one of Argentina's biggest free-to-air networks. News comes from Arriba Argentinos, while Mario Pergolini hosts the talk show Otro día perdido. The schedule also includes football talk on Pasión por el fútbol, cooking with Jime Monteverde on La cocina rebelde and plenty of entertainment news.
For Argentines abroad and Spanish learners alike, it is a lively window on everyday life in Argentina, from breaking news to the debates everyone talks about the next morning.
Channel 13 first went on air on 1 October 1960, founded by Cuban television pioneer Goar Mestre, and has been run by Artear, part of Grupo Clarín, since 1989. Its sun logo earned it the nickname "el canal del solcito". In 2025 it ranked as the second most watched channel in the country.
