Format

The show emulated a TV channel. When the show began, the screen showed a notification saying that Televisa handed over the transmission to XHDRBZ. The show began with an introduction assimilating that of a Newscast. Each sketch is then presented as if it were a different show; at the end of each sketch showed its cast and credits, like in a real television program. When the actual show finished, it would present a notification that said Televisa would return to its usual broadcast.

Musical theme

In 2002, the musical theme was interpreted by Gerardo Suárez and the music was produced by Suite Sync; in 2004 it was produced by Sensaciones Sónicas, and in 2004 Galilea Montijo took care of the choreography.
