Dreamia

Dreamia - Serviços de Televisão, S.A., better known as Dreamia and stylized as DREAMIA, is a company which runs several thematic television channels, founded in 2009. It operates mainly in Portugal, Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde. It is a joint venture between NOS and AMC Networks International Iberia (formerly known as Chello Multicanal Iberia). Dreamia channels are some of the most watched channels in Portuguese cable and have been airing Dragon Ball Super since 2019.
==History==
Dreamia, more specifically Biggs, acquired the rights for Dragon Ball Super between the end of 2018 and February 2019, after the licencing issues SIC had in August 2018, after releasing episode 104. Biggs would work with Audio In to finish dubbing the series, with episode 105 would air on July 22, 2019.
Dreamia's channel with the biggest impact on Portuguese people would be Canal Panda, the channel is targeted to children ages 3 to 8, and so it never aired Dragon Ball, despite that, it's worth mentioning due to the channel being more popular than its company and people usually refer to Canal Panda when talking about the people behind Biggs.
The second theme song had it's performer changed after Dremia acquisition of the series, and the performer was Miguel Raposo. Oddly, Biggs and Audio In did not make a second version of the first theme song, despite still airing all 131 episodes of the series on their channel.
==Biggs==
, stylized as BIGGS and biggs, previously named Panda Biggs (until December 1, 2013), is a basic cable and satellite television channel, owned by Dreamia, the channel is targeted to teens and youth from ages 15 to 24, and was launched on December 1, 2009.
Due to their similarities, just like SIC K, the channel quickly became a staple and would introduce more or re-aired many iconic anime to the Portuguese audience. Among the most popular series were , , , , , , and , , , , and .
On December 25, 2014, Biggs aired the first dragon ball movie to celebrate Christmas.
On March 5, 2015, Biggs renamed the movie Dragon Ball: O Castelo Fantástico (Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle) to Dragon Ball: A Bela Adormecida do Castelo Amaldiçoado, lit. Dragon Ball: The Sleeping Beauty of the Cursed Castle, and it aired on March 31, 2015. The name is a combination of the previous Portuguese title, the original title, and a reference to the "Sleeping Beauty" ("Bela Adormecida") fairy tale. Funnily, the announcement mispronounces Bulma's name as Bluma.
Before the acquisition of Dragon Ball Super, Biggs only aired the original dubbed Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z movies and specials by NOVAGA, which was great for Dragon Ball fans, as SIC and its sister channels had started to air the movies less over the years. Sadly, the channel only aired Dragon Ball Super dubbed.
To commemorate getting the rights to Dragon Ball Super, Biggs announced that they would air the first four Dragon Ball movies throughout all of February, on Saturdays, at 9:30pm. This was just prior to their Carnival celebration with the Dragon Ball Super marathon, the two months are remembered my many as some of the best moments of 2019 for Dragon Ball fans.
==Panda Kids==
Just like Biggs, is owned by Dreamia, the channel is targeted to kids and teens from ages 6 to 12 and was launched on June 1, 2021.
The channel has aired the first Dragon Ball movie on August 15, 2024, at 11pm, and has been airing Dragon Ball movies every month since. It also reintroduced the name Dragon Ball: O Castelo Fantástico for the Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle movie, which aired on September 8, 2024.
On October 22, 2024, Panda Kids renamed the movie Dragon Ball Z: A Zona Morta (Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone) to Dragon Ball Z: Devolvam o Gohan lit. Dragon Ball: Return Gohan, and it aired on November 10, 2024.
Unlike the previous Dragon Ball Portuguese broadcasters, the channels hasn't been as impactful to people, as it basically does what SIC K and its sister channel Biggs already do.
Understandably, the channel only aired Dragon Ball Super dubbed, as it is targeted for kids.
