General International TV Channels Thread

At least, someone bothered to record Great! Real's closure (a privilege that Sony Crime didn't get, as far I know? Seriously, if someone finds videos of its closure, that would be nice.)

I guess with that Narrative learned that playing with fire isn't usually an intelligent choice (said playing with fire was closing Tiny Pop).

I am not shocked to be honest. Rather just seeing the consequences of your actions take place.

Here it is

 

[RandomMe]

Here it is

And the last movie on CBS "Europa", long deviated from its initial purpose, was one of the countless Reel One direct-to-TV movies produced and shot in the most European of all countries: Canada.

Here it is

Hungarian AMC channels switching to new branding at 06:00 CET: continuity with old branding for the final time, 1st program starts with new logo (if that's the case).
Polish AMC channels switching to new branding at 06:00 CET: old promos for the final time, new ident before the 1st program.

I know, it says including, but why skipping from naming BET, Game One and J-One?

I guess those contents from BET, Game One and J-One won't coming to Paramount+

Yeah, I suppose only the international ones (well, American ones) are felt worthy of the streaming treatment

With Paramount's finances not going extremely well you never know these days what the plans for their minor operations are

Didn't know WarnerTV Poland has Hungarian and Romanian audio tracks:

Now wondering though, did they only add this recently or are those tracks TCM leftovers?

View attachment 310160

Now wondering though, did they only add this recently or are those tracks TCM leftovers?

The "Hungarian track" is the English one, as Hungary unfortunately never got TCM or its successors.
And yes, they have existed since TCM: Poland was the first international TCM, launched in 1998. The Romanian track was added in 2007.

 

[zakawer2]

So are the majority of programs on the Romanian audio track in English? Does the channel have a Romanian subtitle track?

 

[Francisque]

Don't forget the local Romanian and Polish Warner TV used to be TCM CEE and later TNT CEE, hence they have been pan-feeds for a long time before the localisation at the TNT times , as there was a need for localization

The various audiotracks are a relic of this

Why suspend a kids channel in order to temporarily release bandwidth for matches?

Why suspend a kids channel in order to temporarily release bandwidth for matches?

Because live sport (especially top-tier football) is more lucrative than a kids channel airing a normal schedule. However when there's no major sports on, it's likely that the other channels have more viewership. It's a shame that they had to temporarily sacrifice a kids channel and they must be really short of transponder space.
