Crazy that Vice Media is now valued at 4 Billion.

Disney doubles down on Vice with 10 percent stake - L.A. Biz

The new Vice channel (formerly known as H2) will censor nudity and language according to A&E's guidelines. Vice has always been counterculture. I understand nudity but not language. Fucking sellouts.

We already have a channel that is a censored version of Vice and it's called Fusion. Sucks ass. They even blur thongs on Miami beach. Owned by Disney.

Vice is dead with A&E and Disney as partners.

Vice's reporting will still be stellar, they still have the HBO show?

I agree being owned by disney is not the greatest.... the valuation seems high to me as well. If you look at their traffic it is relatively meager. Disney is betting on the cable network knocking it out of the park.

Yep. Vice on HBO is still on and more episodes are coming. And it's gets better. Next year Vice will have a daily news show on HBO. 2016 is a big year for them. Besides $$$ what's the point of having a daily news show on HBO and your own basic cable channel? I sure hope they aren't planning on airing the same shit on both channels.

Shane also wants every country to have its own Vice channel. Vice Canada, Vice Mexico, Vice UK, etc.
