Re branding

Also the channels have changed it's logo in every Sony channel by adding Sony on the top of the logo. But they have not re branded it.They have added the Sony logo to each of their channels because As they go forward, they would look at presenting themselves as a group— the Sony Network. This would help them with their viewers because they are aware of the breadth of what Sony has to offer. Also, They have felt that for advertisers to realize that everything from a Max, to a Sab to a SET is all from one family, it was important to have distinct branding on the top.

The key is that the Sony brand should be at the top of all our channels. Apart from making consumers aware, it also makes their network a must-have for every advertising plan. The logos of individual channels are all unchanged. This move will give them consistency across group channels. As far as for their channel heads go, there’s been no resistance to this change.
