Animax was the Latin American version of Animax. It replaced the Locomotion TV channel on 31 July 2005,[2] which was acquired by Sony in 18 January of the same year. Animax was divided into four feeds: three in Spanish (Venezuela, Mexico and Panregional) and one in Portuguese (Brazil).

The channel was replaced by Sony Spin on 1 May 2011,[3] which continued airing anime until 5 March 2012.

History

Being Sony's first attempt to offer a 24-hour anime channel in Latin America, it planned to broadcast series in two formats. The majority of the series containing 25 episodes or more, would be aired on weekdays, whereas series with fewer than 25 episodes would be shown on certain days of the week, much like it's done in Japan. It is usual to find in one day a premiere episode of a series as well as a minimal of two encores. Also, at the end of every series, the channel airs a section called Animedia, which shows video clips of Japanese artists' songs, extra information about anime and other themes, summaries of events dedicated to anime and presentations about future series for the channel. In January 2007, it began to air a segment called Animax Nius (Nius = News), a teaser featuring news related to anime and other topics.

As of 2011, anime has been relegated to late nights, as Western programming has taken over most of Animax's airtime. In May 1, 2011, the channel was renamed Sony Spin, and changed almost the entirety of its programming.
