Canal C:

Canal C: was a Spanish television channel that operated from 1 May 1997 until June 2001. Its programming was primarily focused on computing and new technologies. It was initially available on the Canal Satélite Digital satellite platform and later added to cable operators such as Menta, Euskaltel and R. The channel was launched on 1 May 1997 by Virgili Broch on Canal Satélite Digital, on dial 14, with a limited schedule and offering. In mid-1998 it launched its website canalc.com, offering programming information and the possibility of downloading it to a PDA. Despite some cosmetic renewals, the site suffered from progressive neglect and lack of content updates, making it not particularly attractive. In 1999 the channel launched new in-house productions such as D.O.F.6, Antipop, Foro and Redacción, and began to bet on specials dedicated to current events, such as the Euskal Party, or retrospectives like the special dedicated to 'La edad de oro del software español'. In 2000 it began airing more scattered content, such as Bakuchiku, a programme dedicated to manga and anime, and various Japanese animation series. Finally, at the end of April 2001, Canal C: announced its closure, which took place on 31 May of the same year, coinciding with a channel reshuffle on the Canal Satélite Digital dial, arguing that the channel was quite expensive for the small audience it achieved. There was speculation about the possibility of replacing the channel with another dedicated to video games called Game 40, the name of the radio programme presented, among others, by Guillem Caballé and Carlos Ulloa on Los 40 principales, until its withdrawal on 4 October 1998. However, nothing more was ever heard about this project.
