La Sexta Tv Live

laSexta is a free-to-air television channel in Spain owned by the Atresmedia group. Its general-interest schedule leans heavily on current-affairs analysis, comedy and entertainment.

The lineup includes Al Rojo Vivo and Más Vale Tarde, with political debate and the day's news; the satirical show El Intermedio; Zapeando, a comedy roundup of what's on TV; and reporting programs such as Salvados, Equipo de Investigación and laSexta Columna. Entertainment comes from Pesadilla en la Cocina, Marc Giró's talk show Cara al Show and ¿Quién quiere ser millonario?, alongside the laSexta Noticias newscasts.

Test broadcasts began in December 2005 and the channel officially launched on 27 March 2006. It is run from Atresmedia's studios in San Sebastián de los Reyes, near Madrid. For anyone learning Spanish or following Spanish politics, it is a lively way to hear how the country talks about itself.
