Tr3s (stylized as MTV Tr3́s, tres, Spanish for the number three) is an American cable, satellite and over-the-air network that prides itself as a bi-cultural entertainment destination. It is rooted in the fusion of Latin America and American music, cultures, and languages, bringing the biggest names in pop, urban, and rock music. Tr3s includes lifestyle series, customized music video playlists, news documentaries that celebrate Latino culture, music and artists, and English-subtitled programming in Spanish imported from the MTV España and MTV Latin America channels.[1] The channel is targeted toward bilingual Latinos and non-Latino Americans aged 12 to 34.[2]
The channel is headed by Jose Tillan, Executive Vice President and General Manager.

History [link]
MTV en Español [link]
In 1998, MTV Networks introduced a new digital-cable channel known as MTV S, the "S" standing for "Spanish".[3] Starting October 1, 2001, the channel was re-launched as MTV en Español.[4] The channel focused on videos by Latin rock and pop artists.[5]
Acquisition of Más Música [link]
Más Música, founded in 1998, was an American cable, satellite, and over-the-air network that aired music videos from various Latin American music styles, including salsa, cumbia, regional Mexican, and contemporary Spanish-language hits. Founded by Eduardo Caballero of Caballero Television.[6] 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 acquired Más Música and ten television stations affiliated with it. The sale was completed in January 2006.[7]
Launch of MTV Tr3s [link]
MTV Tr3s unofficially launched on September 4, 2006, when it became available on all cable and satellite systems that previously carried MTV en Español. On September 25, 2006, MTV en Español and Más Música officially merged together. The first show on the newly formed channel was the premiere of Mi TRL at 4:30 p.m. ET. There is only one feed for MTV Tr3s in the United States, as show times advertised on the station do not adjust based on time zone. For example, a new episode of Mi TRL, which regularly airs Monday at 4:30 PM Eastern /3:30 Central as advertised on the station, would air at 1:30 PM in the Pacific Time Zone.
Some former Más Música affiliates did not pick up MTV Tr3s. WZXZ-CA in Orlando, Florida reverted back to MTV2 for a very short time, and then starting showing a religious infomercial repeated over-and-over, while WUBX-CA and WBXU-LP in the Raleigh/Durham/Fayetteville, North Carolina metro area went off the air completely.
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.
Relaunch as Tr3s [link]
On July 12, 2010, MTV Tr3s dropped the MTV moniker to become simply Tr3s.[8]

Music video shows [link]
There are three titles for hour-long, non-genre based blocks of music videos aired in the day, known as Cafeina[9] between 6:00 to 10:00 AM (was called cortadito till September 2008)(EST), Videorama[10] from 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM (EST) (scheduled rarely), and Videosomnia[11] between 2:00 to 6:00 AM (EST). Other current music video programming not hosted by VJ's include:[12]
- Classic Co.[13] – mix of videos from Latino artists of the 1980s and 1990s such as Selena, Ricky Martin, and Marc Anthony. The title is most likely an English-language play on the Spanish term for "classic", clásico, as the title might stand for "Classic Company". Airs weekdays 10:00 AM Eastern /7:00 AM Pacific Time Zone(has not aired since early 2008).
- Los Hits[14] – Based on MTV's Big Ten and Más Música's Los Top 10, this show features the most popular videos in rotation on MTV Tr3s. It was hosted by Carlos Santos or Denise Ramirez featuring interviews with popular artists, but in March 2007 the program dropped the VJ format(not aired since mid 2007).
- Tr3s or False a music-video text message based game show that awards viewers points for answering questions correctly, the points can be redeemed for prizes(discontinued in early 2009).
- Music My Guey a music video show featuring viewer requested videos.
- Top 20[14] – Similar to Las 40 Principales from Más Música, countdown of the top twenty videos rotated on the channel during the week. In late June 2008, the network changed the show's format, most music videos are no longer played in full and is now hosted by carlos santos.
- TXTO (pronounced "texto", Spanish for "text")[15] – Block of music videos requested by callers who send text messages to the channel, in English or Spanish, dedicating videos to friends or family. Although it is loosely based on Tu Email from Más Música; TXTO does not use a VJ who reads e-mails. However, there may be occasional VJ spots in the program. TXTO URB is its spinoff that is dedicated to urban music videos.[16]
- ¡Rock! – aired mostly in the late night hours, a mix of rock music videos from American and Latin-American bands. Among the American bands featured in the lineup are Deftones, which contain Latino vocalist Chino Moreno and turntablist Frank Delgado, and Incubus, which contain Latino drummer Jose Pasillas.(has not aired since October 2007)
- MixMex[17] – music videos of artists from Mexico(replaced with ReMexa in March 2009).
- Street Mix – block of urban music videos, focusing on artists performing within the genres of hip-hop, reggaeton, and R&B, focusing on Spanish-speaking artists with occasional American videos from non-Latino, English-speaking artists.[18](was called EL Sonidero until September 2008)
- Videoteca- (formally known as V.P.M., short for Video Party Music[19]) focuses on rhythmic videos (Cancelled on July 12, 2010 due to the relaunch)
These music video programs are hosted by VJ's who mostly host in English.
- Sucker Free Latino – Hosted by L. Boogs, this show similar to Más Música's Zona Urbana and MTV's Sucker Free plays the popular music videos in the genres of hip-hop, R&B, and reggaeton, mostly from Latino artists, but some videos may come from American artists like The Fugees or Ludacris, with interviews (replaced with SFL5)
- Mi TRL – Based on MTV's Total Request Live and Más Música's Pidelo, hosted by Carlos Santos, new episodes air weekly on Thursdays at 4:30 p.m. (with rebroadcasts throughout the week on the channel as well as rebroadcasts on MTV hits), with the top ten requested videos based on voting on the MTV Tr3s website, featuring live performances and interviews.(discontinued along with TRL in November 2008, then revived in February 2009 in entertainment as a second language)
- Indie 101 – Hosted by Martin Chan, this show similar to Más Música's Rokmania focuses on indie rock bands from Latin America.
- ReMexa – Hosted by singer Jazmín López. A 60 minute daily show featuring music videos of different genres including Banda, Ranchera, Duranguense and Norteña.
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 Present: The Music of Freedom Writers. 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 music festival daily at midnight EST (9:00 PM PST), focusing on one band's set each day. On September 17, MTV Tr3s showed the Rock am Ring performance by Linkin Park, the following days showing the sets by Evanescence, My Chemical Romance, and Good Charlotte, respectively. Rock am Ring coverage will continue on the channel, bands to be announced.
Non-music programming [link]
Currently, some reality shows also air on the channel, taken from the main MTV 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. The block is no longer on Tr3s as of October 2010.

Broadcast affiliates [link]

Tres (instrument)
The tres (Spanish for three) is a guitar-like three-course chordophone of Cuban origin. The most widespread variety of the instrument is the original Cuban tres with six strings. Its sound has become a defining characteristic of the Cuban son and it is commonly played in a variety of Afro-Cuban genres. In the 1930s the instrument was adapted into the Puerto Rican tres, which possesses nine strings and has a body similar to that of the cuatro.
Cuba
By most accounts, the tres was first used in several related Afro-Cuban musical genres originating in Eastern Cuba: the nengón, kiribá, changüí, and son. Benjamin Lapidus states: "The tres holds a position of great importance not only in changüí, but in the musical culture of Cuba as a whole." One theory holds that initially, a guitar, tiple or bandola, was used in the son. They were eventually replaced by a new native-born instrument, a fusion of all three, called the tres. Helio Orovio writes that in 1892, Nené Manfugás brought the tres from Baracoa, its place of origin, to Santiago de Cuba.Fernando Ortíz asserts a contrary theory that the tres is not actually a Cuban invention at all, but an instrument that had already existed in precolonial-era Spain. A musician who plays the Cuban tres is called a tresero. There are variants of the instrument in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
Tres (Fiel a la Vega album)
Tres is the third studio album released by the rock en español band Fiel a la Vega. It was released in 1999 by EMI Latin and is the first album by the band released on an international label.
The album was made in a hurry after the band spent a little too much time on the beach, where Tito Auger was inspired to write the song "Canción En La Arena".

All songs written by Tito Auger and Ricky Laureano, except where noted.

Robot (disambiguation)
A robot is a virtual or mechanical artificial agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine.
Robot or Robots may also refer to:
Computing
Film and television
- Enthiran (soundtrack) or Robot, its soundtrack album
Music
Robot (dance)
The robot (or mannequin) is an illusionary street dance style – often confused with popping – that attempts to imitate a dancing robot or mannequin. Roboting gained fame after Michael Jackson used the dance when he performed "Dancing Machine" with his brothers, and later performed the dance during his solo career in songs such as "Billie Jean".
Description
The robot was created in 1967. It is a dance in which the dancer moves their limbs in a way that imitates the movements of a robot. Movements of the robot are normally started and finished with a dimestop (a very abrupt stop), to give the impression of motors starting and stopping, but poppers have also been known to do the robot with a pop to the beat. As long as the illusion of being a robot is maintained, it is considered the robot.
Can't Be Tamed
Can't Be Tamed is the third studio album by American singer Miley Cyrus. It was released on June 18, 2010, by Hollywood Records; it would become her final album with the label after signing with RCA Records in 2013. Cyrus wrote the project in 2009, while travelling internationally for her Wonder World Tour, and recorded it in 2010. Described by Cyrus as a "good [record] to blast in your car", Can't Be Tamed represents a musical departure from her earlier work, which she had grown to feel uninspired by. As executive producers, Tish Cyrus and Jason Morey enlisted partners including Devrim Karaoglu, Marek Pompetzki, Rock Mafia, and John Shanks to achieve Cyrus' desired new sound. Their efforts resulted in a primarily dance-pop record, which Cyrus' record label acknowledged differed from the original plans for the project. Its lyrical themes revolve largely around breaking free of constraints and expectations, which are largely mentioned in the context of romantic relationships.
Gay (given name)
Gay (Gaye) is a female or male given name (795th ("Gay") and 1295th ("Gaye") most common female name in the United States, according to the 1990 U.S. census.)
It can also be used as a short form of the female names Gaynell and Gaynor and as a short form of the male names Gaylen and Gaylord.
The writer Gay Talese's name is derived from Gaetano, his grandfather's name.
The first name of the popular male Irish television presenter Gabriel Byrne was always abbreviated as "Gay", as in the title of his radio show The Gay Byrne Show.
