Game One is a French television channel owned by Paramount Networks EMEAA.[1] [2] The channel shows several programs based on video gaming. It also airs Japanese anime on a regular basis.
History
[edit ]In Germany between 2006 and 2014, a television show about video games with the same name aired on MTV Germany.[3] [4] After the show was cancelled, the guys from Game One launched an online TV channel with the name Rocket Beans TV on Twitch and YouTube.[5]
Since 2016, they moderate the web show Game Two with the support of FUNK, an online service of the German television channels Das Erste and ZDF.[6]
Shutdown
[edit ]On 8 October 2025, a report revealed the closure of the channel from late November, as part of a plan from Paramount Skydance Corporation that would affect more than 50% of its television workforce in France. The channel was still profitable, with net gains of 2ドル million per year. Its staff was surprised by the decision.[7]
