AXN Spin had its midlife crisis under Antenna (explains how we ended with the current one). Dare I say it would be fitting as its namesake (Sony Spin (my beloved)) ended in the same way? Considering this one factor also recontexualizes the change a little more? (Also... I said at the beginning...

Then I think AXN Spin assorbed parts of that. Well, at least on the presentation side, it used bits of the Animax LATAM 2010-2011 look (also used in Portugal, Spain and Germany).

Personally, I'm ambivalent to both names but the genre ones help more to figure what the channel airs.

Tell that to Germany, where High View has only AXN Black and AXN White (and blame Sony for Sony AXN :') 99% sure that's why they had to go with that?) For Spain's lack of AXN Black, it was because they took too much to close Animax and the license for AXN Black went bust? So Sony was like "nvm"...

It's more curious that they're going for AXN Crime and not AXN White... Unless since it is Hungary and it always operated the AXN subchannels oddly, that's why this happens. (I always wonder if they picked Sony Movie Channel and Sony Max blindly...? The bonus was having one Sony Max that could...

You have that + more Nat Geo stuff for Sky Adventure and you're set. Yeah, on paper sounds like a winning deal.

As I said, Disney TV would be a win-win solution in Italy. Well, at least for how I see things?

Antenna pls? That's really going full circle. Kinda? I guess they reversed the cards, as it is Viasat 2 that has origins from AXN Crime? (Exciting as if AXN Sci-Fi somehow comes back, I'd finally have a way to see continuities of the 2015 rebrand? AXN Sci-Fi Italy has not many continuities...

No one watches Rai Gulp, that's the thing. They're so so so so trying to get kids to look at it with V/BE, I think.

RandomMe also got the wrong person, I'm the one that wants this. (Kinda, everyone knows that my endgame would be STAR Channel and National Geographic back in Italy - but this is an acceptable compromise.)

Meanwhile I hope it comes in Italy! Closing FOX and then not throwing a FX or Star in its place was meh. That and Disney+ Cinema will make me happy (+ throwing more Nat Geo content to Sky Adventure? Pretty please?)

Toonami keeping on ignoring AMC and Sentai has to be studied. Can't get stuff from Sony's Crunchyroll? Fine. Go to the other big licensor in the States?

Rai Quark would be infinitely less cringe than Italiana, my two cents.

It would have been better if they went back to the Rai Quark idea for replace Rai Scuola. Documentaries. And a nice rival for Focus, incredibily the best channel that Mediaset has?

Enter Italiana, the new channel by Rai that will take Rai Scuola's place in October. All about the Made in Italy. https://www.digital-news.it/news/televisione/54713/rai-lancia-canale-territorio-italiana-dal-1-ottobre-sul-canale-57-del-digitale-terrestre Yes, the name is quite... Meh and lacking...
