TV media website C21Media.net have posted an interesting statement from Sony Pictures, claiming they intend to expand their Animax anime digital TV channel across Europe - and that includes in the UK, where Sony are apparently in "advanced discussions" to launch.
"The company said it would be making further announcements regarding expansion plans for Animax over the next few weeks. The anime channel is already firmly established in Asia and Latin America, where it is one of SPTI's most successful channels, airing 24 hours a day in 36 million homes in 38 countries and in 11 languages." "The European roll-out is kicking off in central Europe with the A+ overhaul, where the Animax brand has already been teased to viewers. A+ has four million subscribers and airs between 20.00 and 02.00 each day. SPTI is due to revise this later in the year with additional programming and time slots." In other countries, Animax has been a home to such anime as Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Cowboy Bebop, InuYasha and Full Metal Alchemist. Thanks to Matthew for reporting this news. |
