Real talk, that logo style (that takes from AMC Networks' logo) peaked with AMC Crime and AMC Break. True Crime, Legend and now Film Cafe somehow look silly when confronted with those two.

Two days ago, FOXTEL decided to considers offers for the acquisition of the company.

The Rupert Murdoch-backed media conglomerate News Corp will consider offers for its Australian pay television platform Foxtel, as it looks to reorganise its business in a volatile trading period for news outlets.

News Corp’s chief executive, Robert Thomson, said in an earnings release that potential buyers had emerged for the Foxtel business during a review of the company’s assets.

“That review has coincided recently with third-party interest in a potential transaction involving the Foxtel Group, which has been positively transformed in recent years,” Thomson said.

“We are evaluating options for the business with our advisors in light of that external interest.”
The Foxtel business includes the Kayo and Binge streaming services and the new Hubbl service.
Once a status symbol, Foxtel’s set-top boxes have been disappearing from Australian homes, eroding value from what was once a highly lucrative revenue stream.

Foxtel now competes in the Netflix-led streaming era through its online platforms which operate on much narrower margins than its legacy business.
It has been leaking subscribers from its Foxtel Now service, while boosting numbers for its Kayo and Binge platforms, according to disclosures in its earnings results.

Graeme Hughes, a consumer expert from Griffith University, said the rise of free and advertisement-supported services as well as increasing living costs for consumers meant competition was intensifying.

“It’s a very competitive landscape and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future,” Hughes said.

“When you consider that consumers have less discretionary spend, it is potentially a business to look to offload.”

News Corp, which reported its full year earnings in the US, owns a majority share of the Foxtel Group, alongside minority holder Telstra.

Whose next, Sky News Australia? If they’re going to sell the channel or force to rebrand, I guess they have to launch TalkTV as an Australian TV channel or expand the FOX News branding to Australia. I read something that the license to the brand is to expire in late 2025.

The News Corp-owned broadcaster has announced a “major transformation project” and a relocation – just as its Sky licence comes to and end.

A+ HUN-CZE promos and 16+ warning from 16 June 2007 (a half month before Animax replaced it). In case a non-dubbed anime aired in this version, Czech subtitles are added even in the Hungarian track.

This version should never have existed. Of course, nothing was fixed during Animax either.
In some of the series shown on A+, it was a common problem that there was a hungarian dubbing even though the Czech soundtrack was selected. These were not corrected either.

Then after Sony bought it, some of the promos were in Czech on the Hungarian soundtrack.

The subtitles… Originally teletext was supposed to have the Hungarian subtitles. Under the logo it was written "HU: TXT 360", but neither UPC Direct nor Digi satellite transmitted the teletext data.

This version was actually created to save money for UPC Direct, but Médiatech (former owner, later operator) was not technically advanced enough to solve this.

Discovery Channel Hungary continuities from Valentine's Day 2007. On the 2nd continuity, one of the promos said "hétfőn 19 február" (literally translated as "on Monday, 19 Februaries") when it supposed to be "február 19-én, hétfőn".

I have never encountered any grammar errors on Discovery Channel in Poland. However, there was one filler which featured a Polish text with spelling errors (probably stemming from wrong keyboard settings), which from what I have read was fixed allegedly after a few weeks (if not months):

Odd question here. I'm trying to figure which one launched first, Sony Channel LATAM or Sony Entertainment Television India?
The only certain things I do have for both is that their first year of existence was 1995 (so, next year is 30 years of existence for both), and, as far I know, where the only two SET to use the blue-green-red logo (every other SET, I think, did launch with the blue and white logo? (Well, not Sony Channel Turkey, but that one launched in 2017, long after the SET name was abandoned outside India)), then, at one point, the two channels diverged hard (even if I suspect it isn't that casual that both channels now have orange as part of their palettes).
