Canal Sony ("Sony Channel", in both Spanish and Portuguese; formerly called Sony Entertainment Television), is a general entertainment channel co-based in Perú, Chile, Venezuela, Brazil and Miami, Florida, United States. It airs in 26 countries in Latin America, and is owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment. In the region, it is distributed by HBO Latin America Group. It was the first pan-regional basic channel that offered programming in its original English language with subtitles and became an award-winning trend setting network.
Canal Sony began transmission in August 1995, as a basic cable television channel. Its first launch in Mexico was on Televisa's Cablevision cable TV system in March 1996 followed by its launch in Brazil that same Spring. Unlike most national television networks in Latin America, which air all imported shows dubbed in Spanish or Portuguese, Sony started airing its programming with subtitles which led to its role as a regional leader.
Canal Sony shows new or recent American comedy, drama and reality series such as Will & Grace, American Idol, 'Til Death, 30 Rock, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Falcon Beach, America's Next Top Model, Scrubs, My Wife and Kids, Everybody Hates Chris, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Saturday Night Live, Charmed, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Grey's Anatomy, According to Jim, Desperate Housewives, That '70s Show, Ugly Betty, Big Day, Samantha Who? and reruns or previous seasons of shows such as Seinfeld, Mad About You, Dawson's Creek, Melrose Place, Beverly Hills, 90210, Married... with Children, The Nanny, My Wife and Kids and Frasier. Recently it has been broadcasting several hard comedy series, particularly from the UK such as Balls of Steel and Da Ali G Show.
