, cumbia
, regional Mexican
, and contemporary Spanish-language hits. Founded by Eduardo Caballero of Caballero Television. Más Música carried the minimum required educational and informative
and public affairs programming on weekends, and it was carried mainly on low-powered television
stations throughout the United States.
In December 2005, Viacom

In its beginnings, the programming schedule of MTV Tr3s was significantly more repetitive than MTV en Español was in its last days. The channel aired shows such as Hola, My Name is MTV Tr3s, the Top 20 Countdown, Los Hits, Mis #1s, Sucker Free Latino (only 2 new shows per week), Latina Factor, Mi TRL, MTV Tr3spass, Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica 2006
, Making the Video, and Diary . These programs were repeated for most of the day, which greatly reduced the amount of freeform music videos played on the channel. As months passed, however, the programming became more varied and diverse, with changing music video blocks airing several times in the day.
MTV Tr3s also ran short clips, which continue to air on the channel to this day, promoting the channel. The clips were intended to transition from commercial breaks to regular programming. They include the "MTV Tr3s: We Speak Your Language" original launch ad campaign, showing a short clip of a situation where the behavior and attitude of a younger Latino in this generation was different from that of an older Latino. Also, artists of Latino or Hispanic descent were shown voicing their opinions on certain aspects of culture of their native country or of Latinos living in America. Those such clips included "Pitbull
on Cuban
Women", "Jeannie Ortega
on Parties", and "Frankie J
on being Latino
".
On February 5, 2007, the channel held its first "Spankin' New" week, which featured daily music video premieres, the premiere of Wrestling Society X
(although the show had been already airing on MTV
back on January 30), and the debut of a new episode of Making the Video
, which covered the first single, "Qué Hiciste
" from Jennifer Lopez
's first full-length Spanish-language album, Como Ama una Mujer
.
These music video programs are hosted by VJ's who mostly host in English.
MTV Tr3s used opening sequences for music video shows similar to MTV2
. To indicate the beginning of a music video program, a still photograph of a place from a city or neighborhood would be displayed, with MTV Tr3s' "accented three" (3́)logo animating and leading to a monochrome title card with the music video program title displayed. These opening sequences were changed in late August 2008.
Tr3s has also broadcast other MTV music-related specials such as MTV Goes Gold: New Year's Eve 2007 and Common
and will.i.am

. Occasionally, Making the Video
may air on MTV Tr3s, if the video is performed by or features an artist of Latino or Hispanic origin. In addition, for the last two weeks of September 2007, the channel will rebroadcast the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards
ceremony, in conjunction with their broadcast of MTV Latin America Video Music Awards.
On the week of September 17 to 20, 2007, the channel showed highlights from the Rock am Ring

channel and subtitled in Spanish as well as Spanish-language programming from MTV Latin America
and Nickelodeon Latin America
subtitled in English for broadcast in the United States. These types of programs air for no more than three hours at a time, thus allowing more music videos to be played during the day. Some programming may have little or nothing to do with Latino culture and possibly only airs to maintain rights to the programming in syndication.
Tr3s introduced "Tr3s Jr.," a Spanish language version of the Nick Jr.
block, in July 2010, featuring Spanish language dubs of Nick Jr.'s Blue's Clues
(branded as Pistas de Blue and only including episodes hosted by Steve Burns
) and Wonder Pets
