This is fantastic! I've been waiting for a channel like this to come on the air.

Quote:
Its content will be dubbed and subtitled, with the option to choose between those formats on newer content.



Even better!

I wonder if the shows will be subbed or dubbed.

My reaction exactly however their press pack states they're coming to Virgin Cable in 2015/2016.

Probably due to that thing about channels needing to have an proven audience before Virgin will take them.

Mind you, I don't think any of the other attempts at anime channels on Sky and/or Freeview even lasted that long...

You Brits are averse to anything foreign (ie. beyond the Anglosphere). There's a world of French cinema just over the Channel but Brits are only interested in American box office crap. Maybe this is why anime didn't catch on in the UK and the country missed out on Haruism, its seen as foreign here even though its dubbed in Eigo.

Though round 1991-1992 there was an upsurge in interest in Britain brought on by Manga Entertainment, linked to public interest in the Japanese consoles people were first properly aware of back then ("Manga means hardcore" - aimed squarely at 13-25 year old males, according to Clements). Because this was Britain-only, people like Susan Napier don't comment on it, but it would be interesting to see what went wrong after that, now a youth channel like E4 treats the fandom as a joke.

I don't think the fact that Brits don't like anything foreign is the problem. A lot if people seen anime as another cartoon which they like to being children's shows. This probably wasn't helped my the fact that animes like Dragonball and Naruto were shown on Cartoon Network, which is aimed at a younger audience. I remember Ghost in a Shell the series was shown on some obscure (possibly anime) channel on sky but not much else was shown on there and it was randomly placed within sky's tv channels. The fact that we are a fairly lazy country in terms of languages helps.

I don't think that the American box office can be called crap when your trying to state that us Brits don't like foreign shows, when that itself is a foreign product.

By 'foreign' I meant from beyond the Anglosphere (ethnically Anglo-Saxon countries). People are fine with things American and Australian.

hm, this is interesting to read. Also I went to their website, and this got my attention:

East Asia Television FAQ wrote:
WHAT IS EAST ASIA TELEVISION?
It's a brand new television channel, that's what!
Okay maybe a little more elaboration, East Asia Television (Or EATV for short) specialises in Japanese, Chinese and Korean Media (though from launch our schedules will be full of animé goodness from classics to indie animations).
OH! And we'll be showing films, sport, music, lifestyle, fashion, entertainment, concerts, festivals, and simulcast events in a variety of mediums!


So I take it that they'll be broadcasting something more then anime. K-dramas (Asian dramas) maybe?? Concerts and music, could that mean Asian pop (ie: K-pop, J-pop, C-pop MVs playing on that channel)??
