DMAX (formerly called Discovery MAX) is a Spanish free-to-air television channel run by Warner Bros. Discovery and Unidad Editorial.
History
[edit]At the end of 2011, the launch of Discovery MAX, a television channel on documentaries and factuals owned by Discovery Networks, was announced. The new channel replaced Veo TV on digital terrestrial television.[1] Discovery MAX began broadcasting on January 12, 2012.[2]
Discovery MAX underwent its first transformation on September 12, 2016, when it was renamed DMAX as the channel added series and movies to its programming.[3] As of the same date, DMAX began to target the male audience due to the launch of DKISS, a channel owned by Grupo Radio Blanca but fed with Discovery programming, however, DKISS is aimed at a female audience.[4]
In 2017, the channel began broadcasting sports after obtaining the rights to broadcast the Australian Open,[5] later expanding its offer with the rights to broadcast the Roland–Garros Open.[6]
In 2018 the channel obtained the rights to broadcast the Winter Olympics in conjunction with Eurosport,[7] a situation that was repeated for the 2022 edition,[8] In this way, DMAX took the place of broadcasting this sporting event in Spain, which had historically been broadcast by TVE.
Programs
[edit]DMAX shows survival, kitchen, motor, wild world and crime investigation programmes, and similar, addressing mainly a young male audience.
