AnimeCore (UK & Ireland)

AnimeCore is a British television channel that launched on February 7, 2016 in Wales, and in December 2016 in the rest of the UK and Ireland.

In June 2016, Curiousgorge66 Networks announced that AnimeNation Wales will move its Welsh headquarters to London, England and become available to the entirety of the UK and Ireland by December 31st, 2016.

In December 2016, it was announced that Axiom Entertainment would receive RaGE Media Group's share in the channel on January 1st, 2017. Around that same month, AnimeNation Wales was relaunched as the UK/Ireland feed of AnimeNation and its headquarters was relocated to London, England. Axiom's share was purchased by Ravenworks Studios in November 2017, while the channel was relaunched as SurgeAnime on December 7th, 2017.

In July 2018, it was announced that Ravenworks Studios saw interest in acquiring Sky's share in the channel, as well as another 15% stake from Aura International.

In February 2021, it was announced that the channel would rebrand as AnimeCore on April 6th, 2021, with its Western Domination becoming a Beta Cartoon-themed block later in the year.

On July 15th, 2022, Aura announced that, due to the gradual shutdown of Aura's linear TV operations in the UK and Ireland (including Aura UK, AuraToons UK, Aura Wales, and Cartoon Network Wales), they may sell off their stake in the British and Irish feed of AnimeCore to Ravenworks.
