It appears that quite a lot of XEFB-3's schedule consisted of American shows dubbed into Spanish.

I suspect that the dubbing was done by the shows' American producers so the dubbed versions could be sold throughout the Spanish-speaking world.

And acquiring these shows probably cost XEFB a lot less money than to acquire or produce programming domestically.

Of course, up in Canada, nearly all of the prime-time programs throughout the histories of CTV, CTV-2, City TV, Global, and CHCH-11 in Hamilton (among others) are American programs, for the same reason. They can be acquired quite inexpensively (since such acquisitions cost much less than producing your own shows) and being in English, they don't have to air dubbed versions. In fact, at one time, much of CBC English's prime-time schedule also consisted of U.S. imports, but today, CBC is the only Canadian TV network whose prime-time schedule is made up mostly of domestic product.
