RaGE

RaGE was an American television network created by RaGE Media USA. It broadcast anything cartoons, live action, with a mix of adult animation and anime being played in the late night hours. On July 12, 2016, the channel received a logo, and brand new bumper graphics.

On July 31, 2017, the channel shut down due to low ratings and a lack of original programming. The channel space was taken over by AxiomTechTV, however, a few million households still had RaGE as a barker channel for RaGE Media/Firebasket Broadcasting products until 2020, when the remaining channel space was bought by Starport Entertainment, with the channel then seeing advertisements for a channel titled AniNation, to start sometime in July 2020.

On February 19, 2021, it was announced that a new version of the channel, titled RaGE Network, would launch on digital and linear platforms in the summer of 2021. A new unit of Firebasket Studios will be programming the channel, as well as producing content for it. An upfront was later announced in June of 2021, with a August 2021 launch date, with the channel being renamed to Comet Network, due to RaGE Media Group rebranding as Comet Entertainment in June. At the upfront, multiple shows were announced, as well as the closure of Firebasket Entertainment, with originals being moved to Comet Network. The revival was further renamed to Eclipse Network due to Comet being an already existing name being used for a network.

History
In November of 2006, the channel was launched with a partnership with RaGE Media USA and Turner Broadcasting.

In 2013, it was reported that Turner Broadcasting had sold its share of RaGE back to RaGE Media.

In 2016, it was announced that in 2017, a big schedule overhaul will occur sometime in the early part of the year, with the channel being split between RaGE Daytime and RaGE Nighttime.

On June 27, 2017, it was announced that the channel will shut down by the end of August of that year due to lower ratings and the channel being mostly a rerun network. Original programming will move from RaGE to Vision and Axiom Prime.

On July 18, 2017, it was also announced that there will be a 5 hour live event on July 30, 2017, starting at 7pm EST, and the channel will officially cease broadcasting on July 31 at 12:02am EST following a montage over the past 11 years.
