FUNimation’s newly minted anime channel is on the hunt for U.S. viewers
No longer content to languish in the DVD aisles (and with extra capital from new parentco Navarre burning a big hole in its pocket), FUNimation Entertainment is launching its own 24-hour digital network to showcase anime culled from its extensive catalogue. Cable distributor OlympuSAT has already been recruited to sign up carriers for the new channel, and FUNimation president and CEO Gen Fukunaga says he'd like to see it on-air by year's end. The plan is to sell the net as part of both basic and extended digital packages.
