History

Eurochannel was originally created by Televisão Abril (TVA) in Brazil in 1994, then released by DirecTV in that country. In November 2000, the channel was acquired by Multithematiques Inc, the short-lived American subsidiary of the French company of the same name, from Abril, for the sum of $8 million.[1] Its CEO Michel Thoulouze had high hopes following the buying, in an attempt to "reawaken taste" for European content and culture. Under new ownership, Eurochannel expanded to Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America on February 1, 2002, with a soft launch in Mexico a few days earlier on January 21.[2]

In 2004, Gustavo Vainstein, former executive at Noos, a French cable operator, took control of the channel. Since 2004, the channel develops its programming content and also creates its own events such as the Eurochannel Tour of Short Films. While being available in Latin America and the US, the company starts expanding its coverage worldwide and in April 2013 picks Eutelsat 16A to extend its reach in sub-Saharian Africa.[3]

In 2015, the channel continues its expansion in different regions, including availability in countries like South Korea,Шаблон:Efn India[4] and South Africa.[5]
