A3 Network

A3 Network is a television channel jointly owned between A3 ltd and (and Sky in Jetania). It was known as DIC Network until 2003, where it began to focus on various programming, though the international channels carried the name DIC Network until 2005. The channel was launched in Jetania on 4th April, 1997 before expanding to other regions starting in 1999.

The current logo is seen in three different colours; the green logo is for pre-school targeted shows, the yellow logo is for general audience and the red logo is for female-targeted shows.

A3 Network's programming ranges from original DIC shows and shows created by A3 ltd. It also includes several shows that are no longer high in demand or getting produced. The Jetanie version airs everyday from 4:00a.m. to 8:00p.m. and has had a rivalry with Z Bop since 2003.

According to BrandSins, DIC Network's rebranding to A3 Network was one of the main reason DIC Entertainment was merged into in 2008.

2008-2011
From October 2008 to January 2011, A3 Network began using a new branding where, depending on the time of day and the day of the week, "NETWORK" would appear below the logo. For example, Monday in the morning would have it in purple, messy writing, and Friday in the afternoon would have it in pink, big writing.

2011-2015
In 2011, the "NETWORK" was phased out of the logo, as one employee stated that it was "an uneeded touch". The Jetanie channel updated to the new design first, on 10th January, whilst the international channels adapted it throughout May to August.
