History
Until 2007, the channel was owned by "Claxson Interactive Group Latin America & Iberia" (which was a subsidiary of the Venezuelan-based Cisneros Group) but that year the channel, along with Retro and Space, is bought by Turner Broadcasting System. It aired different programming on different blocks, such as "Primer Plano I.Sat" (foreign movies), "Cine Argentino Independiente" (independent Argentine films), "Asian Connection" (Asian films), and "Cortos I-Sat" (short films).
In 2007 it changed its programming from being a 24-hour movies channel to have movies, series, shows, documentary series, music and some others. Some current programming includes MADtv, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Basement Sessions, Little Britain, As If, Carnivàle, Veronica Mars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and others.
The Cartoon Network's block Adult Swim aired every night with adult animation series; however, it was cancelled on December 2010 due to low ratings.,[1][2]
