K3 () was a Catalan public television channel operated by Televisió de Catalunya available in analogue and DTT in Catalonia, Balearic Islands, Valencia, Andorra, Northern Catalonia and partly in Aragon.
K3 was born in 2001 from the re-estructuration of TVC's second channel, Canal 33, that split it in two channels that shared the same frequency: 33 and K3. While this was valid for analogue broadcasting, the DDT broadcasting changed in December 2006. 33 got the old frequency on its own, while K3 shared its multiplex slot with the 300 channel.
K3 was a children/teenagers channel, that usually broadcasts from morning to 21:30 on weekdays and a couple of hours around midday on the weekend. It broadcast both entertainment and educational programs, with a wide range of ages. Early morning were usually dedicated to younger children, while the afternoon is more devoted to teenagers.
On 17 October 2009, the channel was replaced by Canal Super 3.
History K3 started broadcasting on 23 April 2001 at 7am, on the frequencies of Canal 33 from 7am to 8pm. Behind the scenes, a man dressed up in a Doraemon suit opened the channel in the K3/33 control room, for the purpose of an item to air on that evening's Info K.2001/04/23 - K3 - Info-K: Naixement del K3 - 1a emissió Info-K It inherited most of the shows that were on the Club Super 3 blocks on TV3 and Canal 33 (The Triplets, Ninja Hattori, Doraemon) as well as new titles. Coinciding with its launch came a news service at 7pm (Info K). The program is still on air on SX3 and has outlived K3 even maintaining the K in its title.
On 2 December 2006, K3 started timesharing with Canal 300 on its DTT multiplex, while also increasing the airtime on weekends (the analogue signal handed over to El 33, earlier on weekends). New strands were created for the weekend expansion: (feature films at 12pm); (anime); (sci-fi series) (Catalan productions).
