According to the LA Times, Sony is preparing to launch two new cable television channels on October 1st. The first channel, tentatively called Sony Pictures Movie HD, will feature full-length, HD-quality films from Sony’s vast library of movies. The channel would be included as an additional HD channel within a basic television package and would not be a premium offering like HBO, Starz, or Showtime. The second channel is the already operational FEARnet, a horror movie venture between Sony, Lionsgate, and Comcast. Currently offered as a pay-per-view channel and online, FEARnet will be expanding to a dedicated, ad-supported HD channel starting in October.

Yes....Maybe this will be what Showtime, HBO and all the other premium crap always pretended to be. For movies, those premium channels suck, but HBO and Showtime have had some excellent original series.
Scratch that....says it will try to be added to the HD-tier and will not be a premium channel. So that means movies will have commercials and be edited for language. Will still be nice to catch the occasional great movie you've long forgotten about.
