In this Variety article, there's a mockup of a Paramount logo that does take aspects from Skydance's logo. It does feel odd, for sure. Movie Theater Owners to “Look Closely” at New Paramount-Skydance Deal Terms
Consider that MTV Networks Viacom ViacomCBS Paramount Global has Game One since 2003. Well, from 2003 to 2006 it was a joint venture thing with Infogrames/Atari, but you get the gist. So, yeah, that's kinda unique? I guess that it's so French that no one outside France usually cares for it (and...
Add Game One, J-One and Super! for me to the list. I don't care that those three channels are minuscule in the big ParGlo picture, but I personally care (a lot).
Honestly, Skydance as the options went is probably the less horrible pick. (Too bad that the Redstone family, while they do want to sell, somehow are incredibly picky?)
I've seen that Zig & Sharko also airs on DeA Kids. Now that I see the site for that, there's a bunch of stuff that K2 would air that also airs on DeA Kids.
The last notable thing that K2 aired was being the first ever channel in the world (outside Canada) to air the latest TDI series. They even lost the rights to Pokémon, as those went to Boing. Frisbee is a wasteland since years.
When you think, the situation with FTA kids channels in Italy isn't that good.
Rai Gulp is at the lowest point, as in some months, the Auditel for it was 0,00% (Even Rai Scuola, that is one of the less watched Rai channels would manage to rack something), Frisbee and K2 probably still stay up so...
Point taken. It could work in the Iberian region, where there never was anything CBS branded, would not work that well in place of a CBS branded channel.
Also, XTRM is another AMC channel they do have in Spain... And that's quite distant from what CBS Reality airs.
Now I wonder who owns the rights to that. (Not that WBD or Disney, whoever has it, would rush to put that on their streaming services, but, yeah. That would be nice for completeness)
So, I need some little help for place this thing. So, in Italy, at one point, on those channels, we got a little live action show called Augusto (starring Lillo e Greg, if I can remember well?). Now, the thing is, I can't remember if this thing was on Fox Kids, Jetix or even K2, all I can...
I tend to consider the existence of the channel as a star, with the passage of Locomotion in the hands of Sony as the moment it was the brightest star and the late Animax era (the one with the other logo) the start of the end (a black hole, I guess). It nowadays lives rent free in my brain (with...
Sony Spin my beloved. I don't even know why my favourite channel is a failed one that managed to stay up for three years in LATAM with very miserable results, but it makes sense. Every channel has at least one big fan. (Also, the backstory is interesting, I mean, if you start by looking at...
A thing I did notice is that the American C+I is kinda... abandoned to itself? That one time I got to watch it, there were still bumpers relating the old branding... And that was in 2023?
They still could have used POP Max for that. (Also, as a liker of useless FTA channels that air true crime content, I'm happy that Great! Real exists. I got my Sony Crime revivial. Kinda.)
Honestly, if Sony took Disney's part of A+E, I guess that even Get could get (pun not intended) some new stuff to air, when you think about it, the vintage A&E stuff could fit it. (Not sure how GSN would gain from that, though)
I'm afraid i can't reply the question, as I'm not British. (The truTV UK knowledge comes from being part of the Sony family via the 2017 buyout - it's fun to see how quick the website layout changed with the change of property on the Wayback Machine)
Italy isn't that lucky with Adult Swim...
Time to entertain another shower thought of mine.
I always felt weird that when Italy got Cine Sony, they went to adapt Sony Movie Channel UK's presentation instead of using the one that the American one used .
Adding that to POP... That means that when AXN closed in Italy, Sony already cut its...
And two (and an half) are wastelands. Sorry K2 and Frisbee, but WBD should love you more. (And should do something with Boing Plus. My kingdom for an Italian Warner TV Next that will never happen. That LCN 45 is truly cursed.)
Add Motor Trend to that bottom list, since I don't think other WBD channels air Velocity/MT content. (At least, the Italian one does that, auto stuff used to be on DMAX, until Motor Trend came, and now it all sits in MT.)
For the thread question, if Discovery Family becomes the one channel that...
I see! Maybe, Narrative is falling in the same trap that Sony fell in, doing disasters (while believing that would improve POP).
My issues with Sony are way way different. My issue is that they closed two okay channels (AXN Italy and AXN Sci-Fi Italy, that also was the last one of its type...
Blame Sony for POP Max and the binning of Kix, blame Narrative for the weird choice of turning Tiny Pop into a FAST channel. Weird choices all around, huh.
My guess is good as yours. But I think that could happen? It would be weird having two different types of logos + presentation for the same channel around.
It is that the most rebranded AMC Networks channel? Five rebrands are a... lot.
Close to that, the first thing I can think is AMC Break in Spain, but that's just its fourth rebrand (it used to be Bio, A&E and Blaze before that). Now that I think, AMC Crime is also another that had a bunch of...
They're still in time to sell Game One and J-One to someone else.
And Super! That one should go to someone that cares (or go back to DeAgostini, but I think they sold it because they didn't want to deal with that anymore?)
I see that someone that commented in the article that you linked that Corus could revive FYI as idea for fill that niche of lifestyle channels. An idea I would not oppose, but not sure if the brand could sustain the momentum?
Well... I stand corrected.
Cosmo is now considered part of A+E Networks EMEA's portfolio of channels.

Not that it changes that much, since it's still Hearst behind that, but, yeah? I take back my words, for sure.
EDIT: Well, it seems that Cosmo has been...
The fact that Corus operates CN (and Boomerang), Disney (+ Disney XD and Disney Junior), Nickelodeon (+ Nick Jr.) and their own YTV and Treehouse is kinda absurd, when you think about it.
