The Twisted Origin Story Of RealityXtra

RealityXtra is a European based channel owned by AMC International in partnership with Paramount serving as an extra by name to CBS Reality as its lineup is filled with content once seen by its predecessor CBS Drama.

The channel was brought in at the time AMC International had begun reviewing their offering in various markets and as seen with RealityXtra it's nothing like the sister channel CBS Reality as it's funneled with scripted content like CSI: Miami, Bosch, Charmed and Touched By An Angel.

Almost as if they were kind of rushing the introduction of RealityXtra and I know most of its existence should be coming from CBS Drama as AMC International had chosen it to replace the channel but what if I had to say that the channel shares a close connection to CBS Reality.

CBS Reality (known as Reality TV) was launched back in 2002 as part of a joint venture between UPCtv and Zone Vision in the UK and after 4 years got an additional channel, Reality Extra and although many believe this could have a connection to RealityXtra it might not be the case.

I get the naming is similar you have Reality Extra and RealityXtra but there's indicators that AMC International could have thought of RealityXtra without dwelling so much on the past.

They have a programming block on one of their brands HorrorXtra and other than that look at the content. I mean Reality Extra was a disciple of Reality TV as the programming coordinated with each other but that's not the case with CBS Reality and RealityXtra.

As mentioned above, the content is way too different making them random than just a mere spinoff and honestly with the way things are with CBS Reality retaining the CBS brand would it be far fetched if the channel were close and RealityXtra took its place.

There's been officials in the UK mentioning how there's another reality channel known as Really which has somewhat a similar feel to CBS "Reality" even though from my angle it wouldn't be hard to differentiate from the two. One is yellow another orange one has two "l" the other got an "lt" instead.

Point being made it has been speculated that this Really channel is the cause of having CBS Reality retain its status but from my perspective wouldn't RealityXtra make an ideal replacement to CBS Reality I mean other content might as well move to Legend with the rest under this brand.

RealityXtra is one way they could however try to phase out CBS without clashing with Really.
