Atas organising seminar looking at direction of TV content in the US
MUMBAI: The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (Atas) in the US has announced that it will organise a seminar on 23 March 2005 in California. Experts will reveal their opinion on the direction that new programming will take in the coming years.
The panel will include FX Network, senior VP entertainment Gerard Bocaccio and Hallmark Channel VP programme scheduling and administration Michelle Vicary.
Meanwhile the TV academy’s board of governors has stated that the proposed changes to the format of the Emmy Awards will streamline the ceremony. At the same time discussions on the issue will continue further.
If the Academy gives the nod to the changes the number of honours given will be reduced from 27 to 21 and make room for more creativity in the typically three-hour show. As had ben reported earlier by Indiantelevision.com due to a reduction in audiences the organisers of awards shows on television including the Emmys have been forced to rethink their strategy.

EPIC Company unifies all brands under single EPIC identity
IN10 Media rebrand aligns TV, digital and films into one ecosystem
MUMBAI: The EPIC Company, formerly known as IN10 Media Network, has announced a sweeping brand consolidation, bringing its television channels, digital platforms and content IPs under a single identity, EPIC.
The move is aimed at simplifying the company’s structure while creating a more connected content ecosystem spanning television, digital and films. By aligning multiple verticals under one umbrella, the company is looking to present a sharper, more cohesive face to both audiences and partners.
As part of the transition, several channels have been rebranded to align with the EPIC identity. EPIC will now operate as EPIC TV, while Nazara becomes EPIC Bharat, Filamchi is now EPIC Bhojpuri, Gubbare transitions to EPIC Kids, and ShowBox is reintroduced as EPIC Music. Ishara will continue under the identity EPIC Parivaar, maintaining its core positioning.
The company has also refreshed EPICON, its streaming platform, to reflect a more unified and modern brand experience. The overhaul is designed to improve content discovery and create a seamless experience across platforms.
This consolidation follows the recent launch of EPIC Studio, a unified production arm that brings together Juggernaut Productions and MovieVerse Studio, as the company expands its footprint across films, OTT and television.
The EPIC Company managing director Aditya Pittie said, “As our scale has grown, it has become important to simplify how we operate and how we present ourselves to the ecosystem. This consolidation gives us a clearer, more future-ready structure to partner, invest, and build at scale, while ensuring that for viewers, the experience is more seamless and intuitive.”
With the rebrand, The EPIC Company is positioning itself as a platform-agnostic content network, focused on scale, simplicity and integrated storytelling. By bringing everything under one banner, it is aiming to make its content universe easier to navigate and harder to ignore.
