Sad if true, but then again, it's not like they really had that many viewers to begin with.

I did watch a few Slayers episodes on it back when it was called the International channel. Other than that I didn't really watch much on it.

I watched it way back when they were showing raws of Dragon Ball Z and only occasionally recently with Patlabor (although I tried to catch the Chinese "24" rip off when it was running)
Such a shame to see it go if it's true |

I've watched this channel for awhile. I've enjoyed a great deal of the Anime programming. Roujin Z, Patlabor, Urusei Yatsura movies, Project Ako, Record of the Lodoss Wars, DBZ, many others. This sucks.
The one thing I was concerned with was when AZN came out and had the Slogan where Two Worlds Collide. That was changed why? Ugh! |

Well since this Aug. when AZN went from basic cable to digital and froze me out I've been on a hatefest over AZN. I was watching AZN , then called the International Channel back when they were really an International Channel with real world wide movies, even in French every Saturday night. And then there was the anime in Japanese with or without e-subs to watch thats the I-channel I'll miss. So AZN can go hang.

I believe it. Ours already turned into MTV2 three or four weeks ago. How sad, I was hoping to watch the Utena movie with some of my friends all the same time.

That's too bad. I can't say that I watched much, even for anime, but I embrace the idea that there should be a more diverse selection of programming available. Even though there didn't seem to be much high quality content on AZN, one would hope that that situation would improve given the channel's fledgling status. I guess we'll never find out now...

No No No
Please say it ain't so! That's the only place I can get my broadcast fix of Japanese dramas and movies! |

It wouldn't surprise me if it did. Since I just got it on digital a couple months ago, and every other channel that I've liked went away as soon as they added it to my cable.
The ones that last for no explicable reason like the Golf Channel, however... |

I wouldn't miss it anyway, all that AZN broadcasts for its commercials are medicine advertisements.

I loved AZN. I really loved watching Pop Japan at 5am when I was sewing. But there was this really great Korean drama I used to watch as well as some chinese ones. I'll be sad if it gets cancled.

Here in the Cleveland cable area, Adelphia relegated AZN (then the International Channel) to the "upper tier" of digital channels over a year ago, available only as part of a package with other marginal channels like OLN, History Channel International, and the Biography Channel. My wife and I enjoyed a few of the shows on the International Channel, but the extra $25 a month wasn't worth it given how little we watched the other channels in the package.
I think it sucks that cable providers treat channels that way. There's really nothing in the so-called "upper tier" that's a "gotta get it" channel for any more than a tiny number of viewers. So why separate the channels? Well, the other thing you get with the "upper tier" is one premium channel. So in other words, channels like AZN are used as cheapo giveaways to sell more premium subscriptions. ------RM |

Aww, that sucks. They had potential. I was hoping they might start getting more animes.

Aww I'll be sad to see it go. Come to think of it I hadn't even known of th eexistence of such a channel until I got to college and it was just there with the package they had in the dorms. Ah well though as long as I still have my CN I think I'll be able to live just rent/buying the other animes/shows I wanna see.

Oh man, I loved IC when I was younger. Watching the Andriod/Cell DBZ saga unedited when CN was still showing Freeza ones. It was so totally different, almost like a completely different show.
I actually watched the Uresai Yatsura Beautiful Dreamer movie the other weekend, staying up all night b/t watching that and playing World of Warcraft. AZN's had some pretty good stuff on, different from CN and much better than G4TechTV's nightly hour long anime run. |
