'''International Channel''', commonly referred to as '''The International Channel''' or simply '''I-Channel''', was an American cable network television channel originally launched in 1990. The channel aired global programming in more than 20 Asian, European and Middle Eastern languages including news, sports, movies, music, and general entertainment programs. The channel's anime programming included raw Japanese broadcasts of the complete ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' and ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'' television series.

In 2005, then-owner Comcast rebranded the channel as '''AZN Television'''. The channel closed for good '''09 April 2008'''.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410113152/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i7a10d4047f133ec7a3949a8decfe4f23|Website=The Hollywood Reporter|Title="AZN closing shop April 9"|AccessDate=10 April 2008}}</ref>

Beginning in 1997 and running through into early 2004, International Channel aired the entirety of the ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' and ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'' television series. While certain other series on the channel included English subtitles, all ''Dragon Ball'' broadcasts were in raw Japanese. The footage used was notable for its [[Fuji TV]] logo in an upper corner, in addition to the International Channel logo itself also generally being on-screen.

The International Channel broadcast eventually overtook the content available through FUNimation's English dub of the ''Dragon Ball Z'' television series, and together with the Mexican dub of the same series on [[Telemundo]], provided an additional avenue (alongside fansubs and other piracy options) for American fans to consume the series.

International Channel broadcasts included next-episode-previews. As with the original Japanese broadcast, the International Channel airing of ''Dragon Ball GT'' picked up the very next week after ''Dragon Ball Z'' ended.

''Dragon Ball'' content aired Sunday evenings at 9:00 p.m. eastern, with reruns airing that following Wednesday at 1:00 a.m.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://web.archive.org/web/20000819093521/http://www.internationalchannel.com/whatson/grid1.asp|Website=International Channel Networks|Title="Program schedules"|AccessDate=19 August 2000}}</ref>
