Spanish term or phrase: ciclo

From Argentina. In this article from La Razón, a ***ciclo*** is akin to a television program or series -- but my guesses are only approximations, and I'd rather use the correct term in English if possible.

" 'Pura química', el ciclo de ESPN, se caracteriza por hacer sentir cómodo al invitado de turno y lograr de ellos grandes confesiones."

series/season

Explanation:
Is ESPN a series? If so, "season".

Mind you, in Spanish "ciclo" is generally used to refer to a specially curated series of individual films with a common nexus, as in a retrospective by a film director...

In your case this sounds like a chat-show, so "season" would be the best choice.
