GEM (formerly known as Sony GEM until 2020) was a pay television channel owned by KC Global Media Asia (formerly owned by Sony Asia). This channel was first launched in Vietnam on 1 January 2014[1] and was subsequently rolled out in other countries in Southeast Asia. The channel broadcast Japanese-language programming with subtitle in local languages.
On 21 February 2019, the channel closed down in Vietnam due to low audience.
GEM was closed on 1 August 2024 due to low viewers on cable TV, low demand on Japanese TV series as some may not be available outside Japan, and even lack of newer shows, as they shift the focus on their other channels (AXN for English entertainment, Animax for highly-demanded anime series, and ONE for K-drama and K-variety show).[2] [3] Prior to the shutdown, they aired the anime Shadows House mid-season before the series resumed on Animax.
