Paramount Network (formerly Paramount Channel) is a Spanish free-to-air television network primarily programmed in a general entertainment format. The terrestrial license is held by Net TV. [2] It was originally launched on March 30, 2012, as Paramount Channel, primarily broadcasting films from the 1980s and 1990s, as well as recent television series.

In May 2018, Viacom announced that the Spanish version of the channel would relaunch as Paramount Network (itself a relaunch of the former U.S. network Spike) on 10 June 2018, switching to a general entertainment format with television series and films. [3]

On January 18, 2024 it was announced Paramount Network Spain would upgrade from its 576i resolution to 1080i on February 14, 2024, due to the shutdown of SD signals on terrestrial television in Spain on that same day. [4]
