Rebranding and merger with Paramount Networks EMEAA
The Brazilian operations of what was then-known as MTVNLA, before the rebranding as VIMN The Americas, were called Viacom Networks Brasil, since Abril, the parent company of MTV Brasil, has the exclusive rights to the MTV brand in that country, though, from October 2013, VIMN The Americas reclaimed the MTV brand in Brazil and relaunched the channel as a cable channel. In 2019, the company changes its name to ViacomCBS Networks Americas after the merger of the parent company with CBS Entertainment Group, whose name was used until 2022 when the company changed its name to Paramount Networks Americas after the parent company changes its name to Paramount Global.
Since 2017, Paramount Networks Americas began its merger process with Paramount Networks EMEAA, moving the assets of Nicktoons Latin America to Europe. This process continued in 2023 with the move of assets of Nick Jr. Latin America to Europe in September of that year [2] , and the move of assets of Nickelodeon Latin America to Europe between October and November of the same year. [3] [4] The process was completed in 2024 when MTV Latin America moved its assets to Europe in February of that year [5] , while Comedy Central Latin America followed suit in June of the same year. [6] However, Paramount clarified that Latin American content will continue to be produced for their respective linear channels. [7]
On 7 October 2025, Paramount announced the closure of all its channels in Brazil on 31 December 2025, thus marking the closure of the company's operations in Brazil after the sale of the production company Porta dos Fundos. [8] [9] In Hispanic America, the channels will continue to operate, in addition to continuing with their respective Latin American productions. [10] [11]
