End of the road for Jimmy

October 27, 2014 09.51 Europe/London By Julian Clover

jimmyOne of the most familiar brands on the French multichannel landscape is to disappear with the news Canal+ is planning to shutter Jimmy.

The channel is expected to disappear in June 2015, along with House+ and Kitchen+.

Launched in 1990 under the name of Canal Jimmy, the station was the nighttime companion to Canal J, in the same way that Nick at Nite had partnered Nickelodeon in the United States.

While no final decision has been taken, local media reports that Canal will instead invest in the Planète and Comédie channels.
