When is the television program on?

Question

How do you say things like "When is that television program on?" or "The television program is on at six" in Spanish. Would they be "¿Cuándo pasa el programa de televisión?" and "La televisión programa pasa a las seis"?

Answer 1

"¿Cuándo pasa el programa de televisión?"

This is a very good guess. It may be regional, but in Mexico it is said in 3rd person plural, ie: ¿A qué hora (cuándo) pasan tal programa?

You get my vote, whilst I offer a simplification.. - annierats, Oct 20, 2012

I offer a simple suggestion:

Answer 3

We have an excellent translator here. Why not try putting in those two sentences in the translator and see what you get. Actually you will get three different translators that will give you, possibly, slightly different translations. I always am able to come up with a pretty good translation for most sentences by comparing them, and selecting the best parts from each of the translations.

Good luck, and if you are still stumped, come back here and ask for a native Spanish speaker's assistance.

Thank you for your suggestion, but I did so, and it comes up with phrases that are not at all Spanish "¿Cuándo es el program de televisión en/sobre?", which is impossible. I actually did try piecing it together based on the dictionary entry for "on" - Maxwell_R, Oct 20, 2012
