Viacom to examine the possibility of making 5*, 5USA or both pay-tv Channels.

Quote:
The American conglomerate also intends to examine the possibility it could convert one or more of Channel 5’s secondary channels into a subscription business. Viacom also owns the major film studio Paramount, which could provide premium programming.

PMSL. His posts are going beyond trolling and attempting to show off how well off he is, to downright weird.

I certainly wouldn't pay any extra for the Channel 5 stable of offshoot channels.

To be fair I think Viacom are just thinking about moving 5* and 5USA off Freeview and Freesat also putting them on higher packages like "L" or "XL" Packages on Virgin Media.

Like Sky did with Sky Sports News some years back.

I guess until we know what's in the channel(s), it's hard to judge their value. I imagine they would just be in M+.

So does Channel 5 being taken over mean that they will stop showing American dramas like Person of Interest and NCIS? Hope not.

Who knows but they've mucked about with Helix and cancelled The Walking Dead.

Viacom to increase Channel 5 budget.

http://www.theguardian.com/media/201...udget-increase

Quote:
Viacom intends to significantly increase Channel 5's £200m annual programming budget, with a much bigger focus on making original shows, and pledged not to convert any channels to pay-TV.


Philippe Dauman, the chief executive of Viacom, said programming was the "lifeblood" of its business and to expect significant increases in budget.


"We are a pureplay content company around the world, this is our lifeblood," he said, speaking to the Guardian. "We spend $3bn (£1.8bn) on programming [and] it is increasing year after year in mid to high single digits percentages. Content has never been more valuable."
