Are CNN, Boomerang & Cartoonito owned by the same company? Do they have any other channels on Sky/Virgin? What are their ratings like?

A source has told me that Sky are thinking of dropping these and introducing their own channel on Sky, Virgin and Now TV. The working title 'Sky kids' would be a 24 hour channel for 6 month to 7 year old children.

If these are owned by the same company and they don't have other linear channels on Sky/Virgin (bar +1's and HD variants), perhaps these are the next to go streaming instead of linear??

Perhaps Sky are to kick them out of the Sub Club if the ratings are poor and put the carriage costs that are saved into their new kids channel??

Have you heard anything Legendkiller?
