Good News 25 years for "ZEE CAFE"

[JollyLNB]

Zee doesn't shut down channels in general.

Not true. It closed Zee Vajwa after only a year, similar to Star Life, especially when both had colourful youth-inspired graphics. It closed Zee Ganga by rebranding it to Zee Anmol Cinema 2.

That zee Vajwa shutdown was effect of the planned merger with Sony, else zee wouldn't have shut down it

When Star was greedy charging ₹75 for latest content from US on just two DTH providers. Zee offered everything on basic cable. I use to watch The Big Bang Theory and The Middle on Zee Cafe every Sunday. They also dared to air uncut uncensored shows. They even gave proper rerun to popular shows. The only thing I don't like about them is not mentioning episode numbers. Anyhow congratulations to one of the best English Entertainment channels. I recall siblings watching The Big Bang Theory here long before it was famous. I personally started watching Just For Laughs Gags as a kid.

That's why AXN was also shutdown despite being the #1 entertainment channel. I still miss the channel.

I still remember my father watching Two And A Half Men on Zee Café and I used to fight with him to watch Hagemaru on Pogo.

Every Sat-Sun morning, a show with the same concept as Impractical Jokers aired on Zee Café and my whole family excluding me watched that show.

At present, I only watch The Goldbergs and Shark Tank Australia.

AXN was the undisputed king of this genre, it had the best of the shows which no one else shows, I think it was the best channel that Sony ever had

True but they sold their Ten Channels to Sony, they have also shutdown few channels not that much, like I remeber there was a channel called Zee next and it was shutdown 1 year within of its launch, it was around 2007-08

New AXN owner KC Global Media's Animex and KCM are available in India. Only AXN is left to get relaunch in India by KC Global.

I have tried asking them this like 100 of times and I got reply two or three times that, in future with correct partnership they might launch but I think there was some sort of deal between sony and KC global media regarding not launching AXN again in India that is why they are not launching, if they can launch KCM then there is nothing stopping them from launching AXN too, has to be some kind of permission issue.

2 GEC never worked in Indian market. Somehow, Sony managed to maintain 2 GEC but failed to bring Sony PAL as 3rd GEC and it became a rerun channel.
