Carey Downplays ‘Simpsons’ Channel
News Corp. COO Chase Carey said the company has “no immediate plans” for a “Simpsons” cable channel, despite reports to the contrary, which he attributed to the need of daily newspapers to fill space.But Carey didn’t rule out a possible channel dedicated to “Simpsons” content, either. “There are a lot of ‘Simpsons’ fans out there,” he noted, indicating that the company is considering what to do with the series library after the current syndication cycle runs its course.
Ready for a channel devoted to nothing but The Simpsons? Don’t laugh, it’s one idea News Corp. COO Chase Carey threw out when speaking Tuesday at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media Communications & Entertainment Conference in Beverly Hills.
