That one that banters over Sony TV channels
So, I was talking to a friend of mine about how the fact that Sony still has to get the Sony AXN rebrand out of Germany, after almost three years. And they were saying that they're not sure if Sony still wants to keep the channels they still have under their belt.
I still have that sensation that the first to go will be the US ones, because while you could sell Game Show Network and getTV to someone else, Sony Movies and Sony Cine would die like that. It's not like in Asia where KC Global Media could remove the Sony part from Gem and One or in CEE where Antenna Group could use the Viasat license for the two Sony-branded channels they ended with in Hungary.
The other countries where Sony still operates with the channels have caveats that make me think they're still safe for now (LATAM, India, Japan and the Iberian region for historical reasons, Germany because somehow, the channels did find their niche?).
