1. Locomotion

   Locomotion was a TV channel that aired in Latin America from November 1, 1996 until July 31, 2005. The network, whose corporate offices were based in Miami, Florida was a joint venture between the US-based Hearst Corporation and Claxson Interactive Group, Inc. In May 2002, Cisneros Group sold its shares in the network to Canadian-based Corus Entertainment and in mid-2004, the channel was brought by PRAMER. Following its acquisition by PRAMER, the channel transmitted from its headquarters in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was also broadcast in Portugal through Cabovisão and TVCabo and Spain until 2003 due to financial reasons. Initially, Locomotion was a children's channel dedicated to classic animation for all ages, but in 1997, the channel became a youth-oriented channel, airing titles from King Features like Phantom 2040, Popeye, and The Legend of Prince Valiant, and shows like Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, G.I. Joe, He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Galaxy Rangers, Felix the Cat, Lupin III. However, the channel did not want to face competition against the already-established Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, so the channel began removing the children's animation in favor for alternative animation, adult series, and anime by 1998, and by 2000, they began airing more alternative and adult-oriented animation from the US, the United Kingdom, and Latin America, as well as anime series. As the network grew, most of their programming consisted of Japanese animation titles from the likes of ADV Films, Bandai Entertainment, & Geneon and others as well as adult shows like South Park, The Critic, Crapston Villas and Duckman.

It’s almost like we turned them on again.
