문화적 배경

In Spain, 'poner la tele' is often associated with the 'Telediario' (news) at 15:00 and 21:00, which are sacred times for many families. While 'poner' is understood, you will much more frequently hear 'prender la tele'. Using 'poner' might mark you as a Spaniard. Similar to Mexico, 'prender' is preferred. However, 'poner' is used specifically when referring to a certain channel (e.g., 'Poné el trece').
