AnimeCentral

Anime Central was a short-lived British television channel owned by CSC Media Group. The channel launched on 13 September 2007 and was first announced on 5 August 2007, although its license had appeared earlier on the Ofcom website in January (originally under the name "Toon TV", which was changed to Anime Central in June). Broadcasting free-to-air on Sky’s digital platform (channel 199), Anime Central operated daily from 9:00 pm to 6:00 am and was the only channel in the United Kingdom and Ireland dedicated solely to anime.

The channel initially timeshared with Pop Girl (another CSC Media Group service), but additional bandwidth later removed the need for timesharing. The extra capacity was filled with channel idents or teleshopping segments. Anime Central closed on 27 August 2008 and was replaced by Showcase TV. However, an Anime Central programming block continued on Showcase TV every night between 4:00 am and 6:00 am until August 2009, when it was dropped following the rebranding of Showcase TV as True Entertainment.
