History

Until 2007, the channel was owned by "Claxson Interactive Group Latin America & Iberia" but that year the channel, along with Retro and Space, were bought by Turner Broadcasting System. It aired different programming on different blocks, such as "Primer Plano I.Sat", "Cine Argentino Independiente", "Asian Connection", and "Cortos I-Sat".
In 2007 it changed its programming from being a 24-hour movie channel to having movies, series, shows, documentary series, music, and some others. Some current programming includes Little Britain, Raising Hope, Misfits, and others.
Adult Swim, which previously aired on Cartoon [Network (Latin America)|Cartoon Network], aired every night with adult animation series since 2007 after its cancellation from Cartoon Network; however, the Adult Swim block was cancelled from I.Sat on 2010 due to low ratings. Adult Swim, however, returned to I.Sat on April 3, 2015, until April 16, 2020.
In December 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that I.Sat would shut down on February 29, 2024 with Glitz and the Latin American version of MuchMusic.
A tongue-in-cheek funeral was held in Córdoba in honor of the channel's heritage and past on February 29, while also raising doubts about the future of television, more specifically how its programming essence will survive.
