Also, CBS and Viacom are independent companies so should not be clumped together as a single entity.
I know they're separate companies, but they're owned by the same person and I can't really be bothered to check whether its CBS running something now or Viacom. It makes no difference either way, so I lump them together.

Re MGM channel, that's why I reminded those that don't know that AMC run and jointly own all those CBS channels.

CBS/Viacom own so many channels in the UK now with their impending buyout of Channel 5 adding a raft of new channels into their fold, that they might sell some of their CBS branded channels to AMC.
