The channel was launched on December 27, 2008 in standard definition, and transmitted until January 18, 2009. The channel would be relaunched two years and a day after its initial launch, and would transmit until January 6, 2011. The last time the channel was on air was on its third transmission from October 10 to December 31, 2016.

Visuals: Against a dark environment with dark blue and purple lights along with floating dust particles, many differently-colored light and glowing dust particles pass by the screen from the left to the right side of the screen in a wave as the camera slowly zooms out. About a second after they fly into the screen, they slow down for a brief time before speeding up again as the particles form the Astro Fiesta logo (with the Astro logo from the time above text reading "fiESta" in differently-stylized fonts). The logo then shines.

Variant: For the breakbumper variant, when the particles fly into the screen, they instantly form the logo, as the camera zooms out slightly faster for a brief time.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A calm electronic tune accompanied by glitter noises, an extra low-pitched electronic note, and an electronic sting that ascends and descends in pitch. A loud swoosh is then heard, and the tune evolves into a tune with drumbeats and electronic piano notes.

Audio Variant: Just the last few seconds of the ident.
