Chello Zone

Chello Zone (a Chellomedia business unit, which is part of Liberty Global, a company that also owns the UK's Virgin Media and UPC Ireland cable platforms) operates a portfolio of channels under a joint venture with CBS Studios International through the CBS Chello Zone UK Channels Partnership (Chellomedia 70% / 30% CBS). As a result of the agreement announced in 2009, Chello Zone rebranded most of its existing channels in November of that year as CBS Reality, CBS Drama & CBS Action followed by the Horror Channel with roughly 60% of the content now provided by CBS. They also operate the Extreme Sports Channel independently and run the Food Network in the UK in partnership with Scripps Networks International.

Chello Zone also run the Outdoor Channel and JimJam, a children's TV channel which are broadcast outside of the UK. In October 2013 it was announced that Liberty Global had agreed to sell Chellomedia for $1.0 Billion to AMC Networks Inc. including Chello Zone and their stake in the CBS joint venture.
