Another movie channel is hitting the airwaves, but not before it premieres on the internet first. Epix is a conglomeration between MGM, Paramount Pictures, and Lions Gate Entertainment and will feature over 15,000 movies combined from the three studio catalogs. Intended to eventually become direct competition with HBO and Showtime, the new channel will make its entrance as an internet subscription-only service sometime in May of this year...five months before it hits cable and satellite outlets in October.
