Milei Era and Relationship (2023–present)

Following Javier Milei's arrival to the presidency in 2023, the Law of Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentinians was approved in June 2024. A month later, Decree 644/204 provided for the conversion of State-owned companies into the new form of Single-Member Public Limited Company. Thus, the former "Contenidos Públicos S.E." became "Contenidos Artísticos e Informativos S.A.U." In August of the same year, a new visual identity was launched for the channel.

On May 22, 2025, the new programming for July of that year was announced, highlighting the acquisition of series such as "Tuttle Twins" and classic anime such as "Dragon Ball Z", "Dragon Ball GT", "Dragon Quest" and "World Trigger".. Such programming, accompanied by a Rebranding,It finally premiered on August 17th of the same year.
