    Sky closed down some of Livings channels and there own when they bought the group they axed Bravo, Channel One, Sky Real Lives ect. There should be a shift of focus on quality over quantity.

    That's because Sky had overlap, though- Channel One was meant to directly compete with Sky One as a generalist channel, Real Lives had too much of an overlap demographically with Living, and given that Bravo had started to show more US drama, it was always going to be surplus to requirements when Atlantic showed up.

    While it's less cut and dried with Sony, what they already have isn't really treading on the toes of what they're acquiring from CSC.

    Kix has a new look. It's probably too soon to attribute it to Sony but it's better than some of the other CSC efforts:

    The Kix website states that they are a CSC Media company which is a privately owned company registered in the UK. If Sony now owns them, they'd have changed that, surely?

    The main CSC Media website also has no mention of its Sony overlords yet.

    Depends if Sony have purchased the company and are operating it as a separate entity or whether they are merging the two.

    CSC have actually improved their presentation in the last year (it's just the content and the presenters that are the problem)

    I really like the new Kix logo and their idents are quite cool.
