Trace buys four Sony music channels

Trace has bought UK-based music channels Chart Show TV, Chart Show Hits, Starz, and The Vault from Sony Pictures Television (SPT). The afro-urban media group has acquired four Sky channel EPGs and the associated brand assets. Trace returns to the UK market 22 years after its launch as a UK print magazine. It has since grown into a global brand for afro-urban music and lifestyle, operating 24 pay-TV channels as well as mobile and digital services in 180 countries.
