Sony has shut down many good channels like Sony Le Plex HD, Sony Rox HD, Sony Mix and Sony ESPN, as well as Animax which is at the centre of the current discussion. But on the one hand it is not launching new channels (most needed: a Hindi movie channel in HD), and on the other hand it is not letting go of non-performers like Sony Aath and Sony Yay. Why Sony Aath is running I don't know at all, but I know why Sony Yay is running, and it is not a good reason at all.
