On 25 January 2018, RTVC began broadcasting under the temporary identity RTVC Cinco.

Also in May 2018, the channel began a second phase of tests incorporating idents, music and channel IDs in its broadcasts, which generally consist of the public media entity's own archives and programming from Mi Señal. On 25 June 2019 it aired a new test card as Trece+ with news content from El Dorado Radio as well as music blocks. Currently, Trece+'s programming functions as a mirror signal of the main channel and includes some exclusive commercial content.
