Brands like channel that are disappearing

It is inevitable to prevent the extinction of certain brands like channel. Here you will see some brands that are on the verge of extinction.

Causes

 * Replaced, renamed or rebranded: It is done in order for companies to save money, since paying for a new space in all possible providers would be too much expense. These renames or rebranding are done to avoid legal problems or confusion with brands that do not belong 100% to a company, an example of it would be the change of the Fox brand to Star brand in Latin America by Disney in 2021. An example of a rename would be the case of Discovery Kids in the United States, which was renamed in 2010 as the Hub Network after becoming a joint venture between Hasbro and Discovery.
 * Closures: It is done either because a channel is no longer profitable or because its owner company is more focused on streaming, an example of it would be Disney. In any case, channel closures may or may not have explained reasons, depending on the case. They can be caused by political conflicts, invasions, wars, simple mistakes made by their owners, etc.
