Spain
Minimax was first aired in Spain in 1993 and encrypted using the Nagravision encryption system from the SES Astra Satellites 1B and 1C at 19.2 degrees east. The channel was part of the Canal Satellite España channel bundle, which included CineMania, CineClassics, Documania and later SportMania. In 1996, Minimax began airing "Nickelodeon en Minimax", a small segment of Nickelodeon branded programmes with Spanish dubbing, including Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life. In the same year, Minimax was sold to Paramount a few months later. The channel was rebranded as Nickelodeon in 1999.
