Programming
As the San Diego affiliate of The CW, XETV clears the network's entire programming schedule on digital channel 6.1. However due to its weekend morning newscasts, the station splits the network's Vortexx animation lineup for children into two blocks on Saturday mornings: one from 5-8 a.m. and the other following the newscast from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. (conversely KTLA/Los Angeles and WGN-TV/Chicago, two of the three other CW affiliates that carry local newscasts on Saturday mornings, air them prior to the Vortexx block in order to run the lineup in pattern). Syndicated programming featured on XETV includes Seinfeld, America's Funniest Home Videos, The Wendy Williams Show, Rules of Engagement, The Office, We the People With Gloria Allred and The Simpsons. XETV also produces a lifestyle program, San Diego Living, airing weekdays following the station's morning newscast.
As the Tijuana affiliate of Canal 5, XETV clears the entire network schedule on its analog signal and on digital subchannel 6.2. Children's programming includes Spanish-dubbed versions of Nickelodeon's iCarly, SpongeBob Squarepants, The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom and The Penguins of Madagascar, as well as original Televisa programs such as its animated version of El Chavo. Other programming, also mostly Spanish-dubbed versions of current and recent American shows, includes Malcolm in the Middle, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Sabados de Corona, a Saturday night telecast of boxing matches sponsored by Corona.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
