Space Power (SPTV; Arabic: سبيس باور or سبيسباور) was a television channel for teens and adults in the Arab world. It remains active as a programming block, featuring anime aimed at audiences aged 13 to 19.
History
[edit]Based in Damascus, Syria, the channel began experimental broadcasting on 8 March 2008 and officially launched on 31 October with content based by Spacetoon in UAE and from the Venus Center company in Syria. On 14 May 2011, it was renamed to SPTV, before shutting down in April 2014.
On 16 November 2016, Space Power returned as a programming block in the Spacetoon channel, starting from 10:30 pm Mecca time until midnight and displaying all the dubbing works in its favor with the exchange of logos between Space Power and Spacetoon every ten seconds.
In 2019, some of the Space Power programs were added to the Spacetoon Go app. That same year, a new program called Magic Kaito was added to the Space Power menu on the Spacetoon Go app, making it the first program for Space Power after closing the channel. The channel's website, www.spacepower.tv, was active from 1 November 2007 to 5 March 2017.
