Sony has plans to launch two new movie channels later this year with one being solely dedicated to showing only Sony Pictures movies in HD.

The HD channel would be the company’s first wholly owned cable channel in the U.S. devoted to strictly to movies and is expected to debut October 1.

The other channel would be a joint effort between Sony, Comcast, Lionsgate called FearNet which is already a channel offered by some cable operators.

Both channels would be included in basic cable packages.
