MundoMax (Spanish pronunciation: [munˈdomaks]; originally known as MundoFox from August 13, 2012 to July 28, 2015) was an American Spanish-language broadcast television network that was owned by RCN Televisión. The network broadcast programs aimed at Hispanic and Latino American audiences throughout the United States – featuring a mix of telenovelas and other serialized dramas, reality television series, game shows, and feature films (both Spanish-dubbed versions of American films and imported films produced in Spanish-speaking countries).
Headquartered in Los Angeles, MundoMax had been headed since its inception in its pre-July 2015 existence as a joint venture between RCN and U.S.-based Fox Entertainment Group (which originally operated the network through its Fox International Channels division) by network president Jose Molina.
Fox International Channels first used the "mundoFOX" name in 2001, as the brand for the website of the group's Latin American cable channel Canal Fox. In early 2009, the channel's website introduced a video on demand streaming service for Canal Fox programs that provided programming in both Spanish and Portuguese, which was also branded as mundoFOX (the domain name for Canal Fox's website was changed to canalfox.com in early 2012).
