Discovery MAX underwent its first transformation on September 12, 2016, when it was renamed DMAX as the channel added series and movies to its programming.^[3] As of the same date, DMAX began to target the male audience due to the launch of DKISS, a channel owned by Grupo Radio Blanca but fed with Discovery programming, however, DKISS is aimed at a female audience.^[4]
