The ENC is an American basic cable and satellite television network that airs shows from the EliNinja Animation library by EliNinja, with a mix of syndicated and original series. It was launched on January 1st, 2005 @ 12:00am ET. The network is primarily aimed at kids and teenagers from ages 8 - 16.

As of August 2013, The ENC is available to approximately 94,655,015 pay television households (79.43% of households with television) in the United States.

2005-2009: Early Days and Expansion to Satellite
Having been promoted by Nickelodeon in late 2004, The ENC was launched at the beginning of 2005 as an all-animation cable channel known as "The EliNinja Channel", mainly airing content from the EliNinja Animation library, airing shows such as MTV's Teen Rebels, Nickelodeon's Nathan, and YTV's Shyland, which were all created by EliNinja, the creator and founder of the channel. And unlike most channels, this channel had been airing in a 16:9 HD format since it's launch (being seen in 4:3 letterbox on SDTVs). Before becoming popular in the US, the channel was only available to at least 5-7 cable providers in the tri-state area. However, the channel started to become largely distributed around the United States when it was picked up by DISH Network and DirecTV in early 2007. Since then, the channel has finally become popular and well-known by other people in the United States who have television.

2009-present: Launches of acquisitions and Original programming
In March of 2009, the channel announced that it will no-longer only be devoted to only airing EliNinja-produced content 24/7. The channel aired it's first acquisition, Angela Anaconda , in May of 2009. The channel also started airing Kaput & Zosky a few months after. Later aired acquisitions from other networks and countries include Teletoon's Stoked & Wayside, and Cartoon Network's Whatever Happened to...Robot Jones?, which started airing in 2010. The channel also debuted it's first original series, Elijah & Bacon, in the summer of 2011. The channel also continued to air new and acquired content later on.

2015: Rebranding as "The ENC"
On November 30th, 2014, the channel announced that it will receive a new refreshed on-air design in early 2015 and relaunch as "The ENC" as a way of celebrating it's 10-year anniversary. The new on-air design was not exactly revealed yet, but is said to have more involvement of the characters on the channel's shows. The channel officially rebranded on February 1st, 2015 @ 12:00am ET.

Trivia

 * This song was played during the channel's launch montage in 2005, and an instrumental version of it was also the channel's theme song from 2005 until 2010.
 * The channel's 2005 logo is appearently a striking image of the 2005 FUNimation logo, hence the channel's 2008 rebranding.
 * This was going to be the channel's logo for the 2013 year, but when it was unveiled in October of that year, it was not really liked by many fans of the channel, so they decided to keep the logo until 2015, when the channel rebranded as The ENC. The logo was used in the UK in 2014, though.
 * In 2010, the channel aired spanish dubbed episodes of most of it's shows as an April Fools Joke. The channel even temporarily renamed itself to "Canal EliNinja" for a day.
 * In 2014, the channel formerly had plans to syndicated Toby Turner's "Tobuscus Adventures" series, but since Toby didn't agree on having it air on the channel, the show was never syndicated on TV.
