Sad News HBO and WB to exit Indian market from 15th December

[Zeta Reticuli]

Better if Sony pix will take WB library movies and telecast in Tamil, Telugu, etc

 

[dino29]

Yes ,even zee has chance with &flix ,&prive hd ,zee cafe

Zee Cafe will most likely close down, similar might happen with &Privé later on. &Flix is struggling even after having sony pics output deal so i do not see them investing large amount for new agreement

They already have 2nd output deal for Warner Bros films. Sony and Times Network will surely get rights. But i also anticipate MNX closing down soon

Will these chs continue thru digital mode? Article mentions linear pull off

 

[Ashok Varma]

I think Movies Now will pick up most movies from HBO/WB library. Sony Pix, &Flix may take some piece. Less chance for Star Movies as they have no time to show movies other than from Marvel/Pixar/Disney/20th Century.

I think Network18 will launch English Movie channels and will pick up movies from HBO/WB as Indiacast of NW18 was sole distributor of Turner channels in India.

But i also anticipate MNX closing down soon

It was launched only in 2016 as Movies Now 2. Renamed to MNX in 2017. But several channels have been cut off only after a few years such as Sony Le Plex HD and FYI TV18, so it is a candidate to shut down. Otherwise MN+ HD might shut down as well.
