    The problem is that they bought channel 45 alongside channel 55, if they had bought only channel 55 it could have been possible.

    It likely wasn't decided by their Italian offices, as Sony Pictures has left the Italian market by shifting movie distribution to Warner Bros. (which also owns the domains for Pop and Animax) and home video distribution to Universal. Nevertheless it was a terrible decision and Pop would have...

    Despite the name those two channels are not owned by Sony, but by AMC Networks. I agree, and had they launched Animax instead of Pop IT and made deals with Mediaset and Yamato/Dynit, Boing Plus would have never existed. Pop was doomed from the start with no interesting programming and a lack...

    Sky is interested to expand in other European markets, but considering NBCUEJ and the theme park in Osaka i wouldn't be surprised if they end up buying Sky PerfectTV.

    In regards to the former Sony LCNs, Mediaset has recently filed trademarks for a new channel: Cine34 Mediaset, Mediaset Extra will probably move to LCN 55. No news about Boing Plus.

    What if Nick were owned by a company other than Viacom?

    What if Columbia had bought MTV Networks instead? what synergies MTV later could have had with Sony Music and would have Nick Japan have been more successful if it were owned by a Japanese company?

    Considering it isn't even present on Mediaset's website and the Boing channels in France and Africa, it would make sense if Turner got full control of it. Problem similar to Mediaset, but while Boing would be easier to sell since it mostly airs CN shows, Super! mostly airs Nick shows and the...

    Discovery already has K2 and Frisbee so i don't see why they would need another channel on 45, but i think they could put a documentary channel on 55. Wouldn't Mediaset or Viacom have antitrust problems if they tried to buy channel 45?

    Disney bought 21st Century Fox for $71.3 billion in stock

    Here in Italy, Vivendi (former parent company of Universal) used to own a pay-TV service called Tele+ before selling it to News Corporation's Stream TV, the merged company became Sky Italia. Comcast buying Sky kinda reunites the two companies.

    FOX wants to keep "The Simpsons" after merger
