MGM Channel which was brought in by Dialog TV to replace Star Movies
when it pulled out of this region will be discontinuing it's services
during this month, probably by the end of the month. This leaves Dialog
TV now looking for a replacement to the channel.
MGM which was renamed in most territories as AMC, retained the MGM
branding in this region and are calling it quits. The channel will not
be undergoing any rebranding in this region & will cease
transmissions. There has been no official statement from MGM regarding
this.
Dialog TV which was in a limbo over the replacement of Star Movies, find
themselves in deeper trouble. Either Dialog will have to come sort of
agreement with Star Movies & reintroduce the channel or work with
Fox International Channels to introduce Fox Movies Premium. One
stumbling block over the retransmission of Fox Movies Premium initially
was the broadcast of UFC for which regional rights were held by Sony
Six. Now since UFC has been moved to Fox Sports, we believe that it
probably would be easier to secure the channel however with HBO Asia
securing second run rights for some of the movies premiered on Fox
Movies Premium, there might still be a problem.
Also now Sony Six is acquiring rights for La Liga, FA Cup & Serie A
football tournaments & this channel isn't available in this country.
The channel will also be used to broadcast the SL vs India Cricket
match in Hindi we believe but it also has some prime English content
which will be missed. Dialog should secure this channel too.
