Canal Panda was a Spanish pay television channel, which was one of the country's first pay television networks dedicated to children's programming, mostly animated series.

History

Canal Panda was the first Portuguese and Spanish channel exclusively dedicated to children and teens. It was broadcast 20 hours a day, without interruptions, and featured a 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 1995, launched the following year as Panda Club,[1][2] and rebranded to Canal Panda a year later, on 15 September 1997, for the launch of Via Digital.

Initially it was distributed in Spain, but on 1 January 2001, satellite provider Via Digital removed the channel, citing strong competition in the Spanish market,[3] and it was replaced by Megatrix, with distribution deal with Antena 3.[4] In 2004, Megatrix closed due to the merger between satellite providers Canal Satelite Digital and Via Digital.

On 1 April 2011, Canal Panda was relaunched in Spain due to a decision of Chello Multicanal for reviving the brand and replacing KidsCo which Chello was the Spanish distributor and was not satisfied with the bill.[5] The focus of programming on the channel also shifted towards preschool shows. The relaunch was met with some controversy among the anime community, as its Portuguese counterpart broadcast some anime that were not airing in the Spanish version, but the Spanish version claimed that such titles did not match the channel's content criteria.[6]

On 6 July 2015, the channel was rebranded with a new logo.[7]

On 2 July 2019, Vodafone TV added the channel in HD to its offers.

On 1 June 2021, the channel launched an evening block aimed at older children and teenage audiences called Panda Kids, which aired live-action shows, game shows and reality shows.[8][9][10][11] In Portugal, Panda Kids was initially launched as a pop-up channel, before being placed into its own full channel, focusing on animated programming.

On 15 December 2022, the channel closed for a second time. The channel was replaced by Enfamilia, with a morning block called Panda Enfamilia continuing until the channel was rebranded to VinTV on 1 July 2025.[12][13][14][15]
