It's amazing how much our TV changed in 3 years... You no longer see kids' shows on Ch.13 and now all news programmes start much earlier.
BTW the Avenida Brasil showing at 5 is not a repeat - it's the original showing before it got moved to primetime to compete with Tinelli.

You're right. I forgot that, but when I read your comment yesterday, I began to rememember that I used to watch Avenida Brasil on those very hot and humid afternoons, but I stopped watching it in May 2014 when it moved to primetime.

Soap operas at night.... The horror

It's a horror depending what do you want to watch. These soaps are not full of drama, others are comedies or a mixture of both.

It depends of the country. Soap operas aren't as pervasive in Argentina (you have other choices even if you can't afford cable or a fast Internet connection) as they are in Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela.
