History [ ]
On 14 September 2009, it was revealed that the international arm of CBS , CBS Studios International , struck a joint venture deal with Chellomedia to launch six CBS-branded channels in the UK during 2009. The new channels would replace Zone Romantica , Zone Thriller , Zone Horror and CBS Reality , plus timeshift services Zone Horror +1 and Zone Reality +1.[1] [2] On 1 October 2009, it was announced that CBS Reality , CBS Reality +1, CBS Drama and CBS Justice (replacing CBS Action in 2018) would launch on 16 November 2009 replacing Zone Reality, Zone Reality +1, Zone Romantica and Zone Thriller. On 5 April 2010, Zone Horror and Zone Horror +1 were rebranded by Horror Channel and Horror Channel +1, following the rebrand of the portfolio's other three channels in November 2009.[3]
On 1 August 2012 Chellomedia revealed that all European versions of the Zone Channels would be rebranded into CBS Channels.[4] CBS Drama replaced Zone Romantica on 3 December 2012 (in Poland replaced Zone Club ).[5]
