Not sure if we'll get any anime but fingers crossed.

Ofcom grants Turner 'Adult Swim' licence
- Thread starter Dan
- Start date
I get a feeling this will still be devoid of anime (I can still be surprised though) but it will be nice to me since I missed a chance to watch the last few seasons of Robot Chicken when it was airing on FX (although i loved the irony of that and family guy sharing a channel with all the jokes they poke at each other)

Going to be a weird ass schedule. I wonder if it'll show even more Family Guy. I kinda hope they do since that show is a way to get into the mainstream public consciousness fo' sure. Futurama, too. I bet rights are too complicated to get all the repeat stuff?
Gimme Home Movies then.

I doubt they would get Family Guy, but they might get Futurama since Sky seem to be clearing out their old shows (eg Malcolm in the Middle).Jayme said:
And, Home Movies == Yes freaking please
Also, the AS twitter guy seems to think this is just a renewal of their mobile license. I doubt this because..
1) It's listed in Television services
2) It's listed as a new licence
3) Surely if it was just a mobile license, DS would have made this mistake so many times before?

Uhh, no it cant. And the facebook/twitter guy is just as oblivious as we are.
Seriously, they're being quite secretive. As much as I don't wanna keep my hopes up, I think they're trying to keep it quiet.
Until then, screw TV, I'm gonna go do something else to waste time for a while :lol:

The whole mobile thing is bulls**t in my opinion, as far as I know TCLS form only deals with television/radio in a linear form and excludes on demand and mobile television which is something else entirely. Turner were granted a NEW license and it was not renewed, it was granted the same time as Chellomedia were granted with their CBS HD channels.
I for one think there is more to this story than meets the eye.

Reasons why it's a lie:
1) It's a new television license and not renew
2) No other Mobile channels have ofcom licenses
Reasons it's the truth:
1) They have no reasons to lie about it
The CBS channels seem to be all the rage on DS, mainly in the freesat sectionsJayme said:

They did lie to me about the deal they had with FX.
Even worse FX were showing ads and they flat out denied it to me.

What did they say, because I have definately seen Adult Swim adverts on FX.J_C_X said:
Mainly stuff for RCSW3, so this was a few months after they finished showing AS stuff on FX.
Also, I think I have sussed it! They have the Ofcom license, but they might not have the channel space on sky yet, so they might not be allowed to announce the launch and stuff
EDIT: Okay, seriously, is the AS Twitter guy a perv or something. Quit tweeting about SuicideGirls :lol:
Paradox295 said:
That would be my logic as well.
They denied that they had a deal in place with FX and said it was an advertising deal they had with them.
Another question is - if the Venture Bros and Robot Chicken were mostly successful with FX why did they pull them off the air? Are they keeping it for something else?
This seems to be suspiciously missing a UK tv deal - http://www.tnt.tv/series/fallingskies/
Unusual because shows like this are often snapped up when in pre-production with UK broadcasters.

I don't think it would work for AS, IMHO. Plus there are alot of network shows without a UK TV dealJ_C_X said:
Paradox295 said:
I think it would to be honest, what they've got is too thin to launch a stand alone channel, if they are going for the young adult demograph that show fits neatly in there.
If this show doesn't get a TV deal in the UK soon, I really think this makes an adult swim UK channel more likely.

Now apparently Adult Swim was confirmed that they haven't got a UK license . D:
