Sonar Entertainment launching paid-for YouTube channel

Sonar Entertainment launching a paid-for YouTube channel, Minis + Movies.

The TV movie and series producer and distributor will programme the US service with titles from its 500-title catalogue. It will include classic and contemporary miniseries and full-length two-hour TV movies.

The channel launched this week and a monthly subscription costs US$1.99. A yearly sub is priced at US$19.99.

Sonar said it will refresh the line-up with new titles every month with titles at launch including Lonesome Dove, Merlin (with Sam Neil, not the FremantleMedia series), Tin Man with Zooey Deschanel and Good Fences with Danny Glover and Whoopi Goldberg.

“Our library is rich with beloved and acclaimed titles, perfect to be watched over and over again,” said Stewart Till, CEO, Sonar Entertainment. ”We welcome this opportunity to make them available all in one place, easily accessible to a broad audience.”
