Date: 12/15/2005
World Screen reports Sony Pictures Television International's anime network Animax will launch in South Korea in the second quarter of 2006. SPTI has formed a joint venture with Korean DTH platform SkyLife to launch Animax Korea. It will be available exclusively to SkyLife's 1.9 million subscribers. "Since the launch of Animax Asia in January 2004, we have seen exponential growth from one million households when it launched to more than 22 million Asian households," said Andy Kaplan, SPTI's president of international networks. "I am confident that Animax Korea's incredible anime programming, combined with SkyLife's strong distribution network, will make Animax Korea a destination for viewers in Korea. With the expansion to Korea, Animax will be an even more effective advertising platform for multinational advertisers to extend their promotional reach."
