Crunchyroll Changes Ownership

Chernin Group, based in Los Angeles and founded in 2010 by former News Corp. executive Peter Chernin, has purchased a majority ownership of San Francisco based video streaming site Crunchyroll. The Chernin Group plans, “to continue to grow the anime vertical as well as launch new channels in different genres.” Crunchyroll’s senior management and the site’s co-owner TV Tokyo will retain “significant” stake in Crunchyroll Inc.
