Sundown

Sundown is an animation and film orientated block on Vision. It airs on Saturday from 10pm to 5a. It hosts anime premieres, animation premieres, film premieres, and cult films. It holds television premiere rights to Marvel films.

History
It came into fruition in mid June 2015, when the Rising Sun program director wanted to take an hour off Rising Sun and create an action-orientated block for most young adults and adults. Their target demographic is 15 - 32 year old males.

In 2017, it was announced that the block will rename as Sundown, and it'll focus on cult classic films, anime films, and anime premieres. In 2019, the block started to produce its own original programming. In 2020, they launched Sundown Entertainment to produce more original content. Also in 2020, it was announced that anime programming will be phased out by the end of Summer 2021, so that Sundown can focus on original properties and film syndication. A Sunday night block, tentatively named Vision Anime will launch in the fall of 2020 on Sunday nights to help prepare the move.
