Project-2501 said:I'll put money on it being a non-anime channel. Sony said years ago they wanted to have animax on VoD in the UK and its not happened. AXN will bring in more money than animax and its been shown that anime on TV in the UK doesn't pay.
Stuart-says-yes said:Sony owns both the AXN and Animax, ones an entertainment channel the other, anime. Sony did announce at one point they would start an animax channel in the UK but nothings happened of it.
The Boondocks is owned by Sony, but Home Movies is Soup2NutsJ_C_X said:Project-2501 said:I'll put money on it being a non-anime channel.

It's not unknown for SPT to put Animax on AXN, it has done as a block as it has done in several countries. SPT also own the rights to Boondocks, Home Movies and the studio that's produced Robot Chicken and Moral Orel for Adult Swim.
It wasn't on cable. Though IIRC, this was during the time Virgin Media had lost Sky1 because it was before Ofcom told them to stop selling their channels for ridiculous amountsStuart-says-yes said:Shiroi Hane said:The only whining I did about Anime Central is that I didn't get a chance to flipping watch it.
You didn't? How not?
I liked Anime central, its made me what I am today.
The first time I'd here of anime until I seen AC was of a bleach game in a games magazines. The only thing I really bothered to watch was bleach as it was close to the start of series 1 though.
Whaaaat? Stu's like 15 or 16, same age as me right? He would have been 6-8ilmaestro said:Stu was about two years old back then.
Well, you get the idea, It's like a crossover between CNX, Comedy Central and FX.Jayme said:AXN Comedy line-up is pretty lame. "3rd Rock" takes up enough hours on SyFy's schedule. "Married..." has aired enough over here. "Seinfeld" could do better than its occasional 5am Channel One slot, so I'll leave that for now. Both "Seinfeld" and "Cheers" can share an early morning hour, one episode of each. I'll make "Arrested Development" share some time with "30 Rock". "Undeclared" can air for about a week. I'd put "Parks and Recreation" into its Primetime. With "Community" or something. Probably "Game of Thrones" (though Atlantic wouldn't allow that for ****). "Party Down" never aired over here, so that's a good one. I have no idea if you were going for drama or comedy in its PT slot.
It's hard because its not just Comedy Central, E4 also eliminates a couple of the shows it needs. A more suitable line-up, imo, would be the have some Trek, some Gate, '70s Battlestar, The X-Files, Fringe, LOST, Terminator: TSCC etc etc. There's bound to be more general crossover in fandoms this way. Maybe some animation, as well Classic The Simpsons, for instance.
And, late-night talk show-wise, Craig Ferguson is the best. It's irritating to have Colbert and Jon Stewart on different channels, so put them together if needed. Conan can do whatever. I'd rather Fallon. If needed at all, I don't think the chatshows are a great fit.
"Naruto" / "Kai" is good. To be more recent, "Brotherhood", "Geass", "Death Note" and "Darker than BLACK" should air instead of a couple of shows that aired here almost 10 years ago.
Hmm... lol.
I wasn't being entirely serious.Paradox295 said:Whaaaat? Stu's like 15 or 16, same age as me right? He would have been 6-8ilmaestro said:Stu was about two years old back then.
