Take-Two Trademarks GTA TV

With the exception of Call of Duty, Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto is about the only franchise in the world big enough to command its own television channel. And even then we’re pretty sure it would fill out its programming schedule with Teleshopping ads promoting the Jack LaLanne power juicer.

But what’s this got to do with anything? Well according to Rockstar Spy, publisher Take-Two has filed trademarks for “GTA TV” and “Rockstar TV”. The accompanying details state:

Computer game programs and software; animated motion picture films featuring entertainment, namely, action, adventure, dramatic, comedic, children's and documentary themes; pre-recorded video discs and other pre-recorded digital and electronic media in the field of live action programs, motion pictures, or animation featuring entertainment, namely, action, adventure, dramatic, comedic, children's and documentary themes.

We have to imagine this is simply a strategic move, but Rockstar’s done stranger things in the past.
