Eurochannel

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.

[2] 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.

[1] At that time, Eurochannel carried an exclusive feed for Brazil coming from Miami and had local programs produced from São Paulo.

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.
