Cuatro

Cuatro has built its identity on being the slightly edgier cousin of Spain's bigger generalist networks. It's less polished, more willing to let conversations drift into awkward territory, and that's exactly what makes shows like First Dates and Todo es mentira work. First Dates, the long-running dating show, feels almost like a social experiment broadcast in real time. Cuarto Milenio, the late-night paranormal staple, attracts a committed cult audience that most Spanish networks would kill for. The channel's news programming is lighter than Telecinco's, but it still covers domestic politics with a skeptical tilt. If you want to watch Cuatro online, the streaming feed is identical to broadcast, same commercial breaks, same scheduling quirks. The channel doesn't bother with online-exclusive content, which feels like a missed opportunity given its younger-skewing brand. But for anyone who wants a Spanish general channel that doesn't feel like it was focus-grouped into blandness, Cuatro live is worth exploring. General TV Spain rarely gets this specific about its own personality. Tvivu carries the feed without region restrictions for the core Spanish-language experience.
