In response to reaction from its customers, Verizon returned Funimation Channel via VOD. On 16 February 2012, Verizon announced that it will drop Funimation Channel from its Verizon FiOS service "on, or after 15 March" due to "very low viewership". Īs of 27 September 2010, Funimation launched an HD feed alongside existing VOD services. The PPV VOD offers viewers a chance to watch titles prior to their DVD release. In May 2009, Funimation Channel continued its expansion on subscription providers launching on Comcast's VOD platform and offering two services - Free on demand and PPV on demand.
The service originally was available to a few cities via digital terrestrial television and was temporary-only as the channel was trying to gain a foothold in the already-crowded pay television landscape. Olympusat was chosen as the exclusive distributor of Funimation Channel. On, Funimation Channel became a 24-hour English-dubbed anime subscription network the second of its kind in North America (following A.D. Vision's Anime Network). The block was later discontinued in favor of a more successful expansion on subscription television. Programs during this era were Dragon Ball, Negima!, Kodocha, The Slayers, Blue Gender, Kiddy Grade, Fruits Basket, Case Closed and Yu Yu Hakusho. Funimation Channel started out as a syndicated block on Colours TV, one of OlympuSAT's affiliate networks.
