TPH Club (WisdomofAwesome's version)

TPH Club (acronym of Tú Puedes Hacerlo, Spanish: You Can Do It) was a Spanish children's programming block aired on Televisión Española from 13 September 1999 to 14 September 2003, and hosted by Paloma Lago. The program was created by Antoni D'Ocon, the creator of The Fruitties, Sylvan, Delfy and His Friends and Scruff.

The block was replaced by Los Lunnis.

History
The block was broadcast from Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 09:30 in the morning, also at noon from 13:15 to 15:15 on La 2 and, at some times, there was also a third afternoon slot, from 17:30 to 19:30. On Saturdays and Sunday mornings, it moved to La 1, where it was broadcast first thing in the morning, before the World Championship motorcycle races, since it could not go on the second channel of public television, because on La 2, it aired museum and Estadio 2. Lasting several hours and including several cartoon series within its popular schedule, in Spain, it was for many years the only children's programming block that was broadcast nationally. That is why the block was particularly important in those regions without regional television (the majority at that time). It was a pioneer in what later became DTT children's thematic channels.

End of the block
TPH Club and its characters were widely accepted by the public and critiques, and the level of revenue from advertising and sponsorship, and marketing was very high for TVE.

Antoni D'Ocon, creator and owner of the brand and its characters, decided to launch a thematic animation channel called "Canal SupereÑe", with SupereÑe being the channel's presenter and protagonist. The channel replaced Club Super3 (based on the Catalan-language programming block of the same name that airs on TV3 in Catalonia) in 1 November 2004, but was sadly replaced by Kitz two years later.

In the 2010s, Canal SupereÑe was surprisingly revived on social media, and even launched in the United States and Latin America.

Characters
The block was presented by a series of virtual characters created by computer: M4R1A (María), a teenage girl who is fond of music; 6UR4 (Gura), a kangaroo with a maternal nature; and SupereÑe, the character who stood out and who adapted to the new times, going from 2 to 3 dimensions and whose ultimate goal was the defence of "the most noble and dignified letter of the alphabet", the letter Ñ. Later, M4X 2000 (Max) was added to the group, a character who was creating M4R1A on his personal computer to alleviate his loneliness as there was no "crack" (the name given to children who watched the block) within the "TPH Universe". As an anecdotal fact, in his search through the virtual world by M4R1A's personal computer for a computer as intelligent as he is, he encounters HAL 9000, an on-board computer belonging to the Discovery ship from the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey.

PCTPH, the flying and talking monitor, served as the leader of the virtual characters. Later, as a support character for so many virtual characters, the presenter Paloma Lago joined the block as an alter ego and collaborator of 6UR4, although her main function was to replace her within the "storyteller" microspace, in which both 6UR4 and Paloma Lago did story-telling for the youngest audience.

Within the presentations, there could be small reports on nature, language or video games among others, but the presentation of the characters was. With SupereÑe, the little ones learnt countless things, in addition to all the words that had the letter Ñ incorporated. It was the first programming block created entirely in 3D and a benchmark that other television networks later followed. Not only in Spain, but in other countries around the world. The important thing about TPH and SupereÑe is that they created a new style and for the audience the block was almost more important than the series that were broadcast on it.
