Sony should not iterrupt Nickelodeon network , Comedy central and music as well as also not make colors brand so nil.:cautious:
 
Here's how I feel it should be :-

Hindi GEC

SET (HD & SD) - Family dramas & critically acclaimed reality shows
Colors (HD & SD) - Youth centric dramas and reality shows catering to young generation
SAB (SD) - The comedy channel. It should be comedy central equivalent of Hindi TV.
Sony Pal (SD) - Classic shows channel.
Rishtey (SD & HD) - Re-run GEC.

Shut-down SAB HD and start Rishtey HD. Drop Colors name from Rishtey. Rebrand and use a retro logo for Sony Pal.

Hindi Movies

Sony Max (SD & HD) - All kinds of latest movies
Sony Max Classics (SD) - Classic movie channel
Sony Cineplex (HD) - Critically acclaimed movie channel
Sony CineWah (SD) - Dubbed movie channel.

Eliminate Colors brand. It's useless here. Shutdown Colors Cineplex. Rebrand HD feed to critical acclaimed channel.


English GEC

Comedy Central (HD) - Sitcoms only network.

Colors Infinity (HD) - English GEC.

Shut-down SD feeds. Ask DPO's to downscale to SD feed.

English Movies

Sony Pix (SD & HD) - English Movie Channel

Sports

Sony Sports (SD & HD) - Hindi language all sports channel.

Sony Sports Action (SD & HD) - Channel for WWE, UFC, Boxing and Strong man championships.

Sony Sports Box Office (SD & HD) - Channel for Football, Athletics, Golf, NBA and all other niche sports.

Sony Sports Cricket (SD & HD) - Cricket only channel.

Infotainment

Sony BBC Earth (SD & HD) - Infotainment channel.

History TV 18 (SD & HD) - Infotainment & Reality based channel.

Kids

Nick (SD & HD) - Indian cartoon only channel.

Sony Kids (SD & HD) - Air all kinds of cartoons, action and drama based reality shows. Add anime to programming for night time.

Sony Kids Action (SD) - Action based cartoon channel with shows like Power Rangers, Super Strikas etc. Also add WWE to line-up.

Drop the Sonic brand.

Music

MTV (HD) - Hindi music and reality tv channel. Air edgy content.

MTV Music (SD & HD) - Hindi music channel.

Vh1 (HD) - English music, award shows and reality tv channel

Vh1 Music (SD) - English music channel.

Shut down MTV and Vh1 SD. Ask DPO to downscale.

I have no idea about regional markets. So am not making a list on same. But I hope Colors brand is dropped from regional channels. Regional channels like in Bengali market would require a rebrand and aggresive promotion to succeed.

I don't think even regional market will rebrand as Sony.
Already they have changed ETv to colors.
If changed to Sony then people will get angry.

Rather than eliminating Sonic brand they can use it inspite of Sony kids, as Sony & sonic sounds kinda same.
