Glitz (stylized as "glitz*") was a Latin American pay television channel that was launched on May 1, 2011, replacing Fashion TV, after the license agreement between the French channel and then-Glitz* parent Warner Bros. Discovery Americas, who purchased the channel from Claxson in 2007, ended in 2011; it continued to target women. The network departed Brazil on May 5, 2016.
