Bye Bye Linear Anime Network!
Dated: 5 Jan 2008
ADV’s Anime Network has announced that they’re closing down their 24/7 linnear channel and recommend that viewers look into their VOD services or their new online streaming site.
If you want my take, I’d say that the linear channel probably hasn’t done well– it’s hard to get a wide spread of that stuff. But now, an online streaming website? That is instantly accessible by everyone you allow it to be. And it’s the wave of the future. So my guess is they are ditching a not-too-successful project (linear channel) in favor of teh intarwebz.
…Man, I wrote up this post nearly 12 hours ago, and forgot to ever actually hit the publish button. Oops.

I said it on japanator I’ll say it here, I was a fighter in my neighbor hood to try to get comcast to get the linear channel but to no success. the problem was no company on the east coast wanted to deal with it so we didn’t get it.
