I don't understand why they would close the kids and music channels just because they don't have any elsewhere in the world. They're such a large part of the CSC portfolio that they must be making a tidy profit for them all to survive. Chances are Sony bought them up simply for those profits and have no intention of making massive changes.
What I actually said was that they'd either leave them alone or close them. For some reason whoiam seems to think I only suggested that they'd close, his reply reads like he didn't notice I said "left alone or". You're right of course, they started with music channels, then the kids channels, and only later launched the True channels.

OK. My bad.

But seriously, if those children's channels are to stay, will Sony make them so popular they advance to the same level as Disney and Cartoon Network, and jump to another DTT multiplex with much wider coverage?

The new blue KIX and Epic Summer logos are both on screen while I'm watching The Batman right now. They don't look too bad at all.

Before the Batman was shown, there was a now, next and later graphic on screen and it looked very neat.
