AT-X[1] is a Japanese anime television network owned by AT-X, Inc.[2] AT-X, Inc. was founded on June 26, 2000 as a subsidiary of TV Tokyo Medianet, which is (in turn) owned by TV Tokyo. Its headquarters are in Minato, Tokyo. AT-X network has been broadcasting anime via satellite, cable, and IPTV since December 24, 1997.

AT-X broadcasts many Comic Gum anime adaptations. Ikki Tousen, Ah My Buddha and Juden Chan were shown on this channel first, before they were rebroadcast on Tokyo MX. Due to its status as a premium channel, AT-X is also known for showing uncensored versions of several anime like Juden Chan, Ah My Buddha, Girls Bravo, Elfen Lied, Mahoromatic, High School DxD and Redo of Healer, which would normally get censored on free-to-air television because of the large amounts of mature content.
