The Crunchyroll Channel is described as a “collaboration between Crunchyroll and Game Show Network (GSN)”, both owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment.

The Crunchyroll Channel continues the streaming giant’s expansion in recent times, with the announcements of acquisition of the popular online store, Right Stuf.
