Canal Panda (Spain)

**Canal Panda** is a Spanish pay television channel, which was the country's first subscription network dedicated to children's programming, mostly animated series.

## History

Canal Panda was the first Spanish and Portuguese channel exclusively dedicated to children and teens. Its daily broadcast was 20 hours a day, without interruptions, and with a big variety of programs such as cartoons, anime, live-action series, children's films and special programs about sports, music and culture.

It was founded in 1996 with the name *Panda Club* and, two years later, it was changed to *Canal Panda*.

Initially it was distributed in Spain, but on 1 January 2001, satellite provider Vía Digital stopped carrying the channel and Canal Panda was replaced by Megatrix, with distribution deal with Antena 3. In 2004, Megratix closed down due to the merger between satellite providers Canal Satélite Digital and Vía Digital.

In 1 April 2011, Canal Panda was relaunched in Spain due to a decision of Chello Multicanal for recovering the brand. Since then, it is considered an Iberian channel.

In 6 July 2015, the channel changed its look and logo.

On 14 June 2018, Canal Panda ceased operations.
