Fearnet launched a high definition linear television channel known as Fearnet HD on October 31, 2010. Fearnet originally planned on launching on October 1, but the date was moved back due to their failure to reach any carriage agreements. Verizon FiOS was one the first carriers to add the linear Fearnet in December 2010. Comcast added the channel to select markets in April 2011.[citation needed] Time Warner Cable launched it on May 11, 2011. Cox Communications also added the channel to select markets in December 2011.
Naoko Mori (森 尚子, Mori Naoko?) (born November 19, 1971) is a British actress known for roles as Sarah, Saffron's "odd" friend in Absolutely Fabulous, Mie Nishikawa in Casualty, and Toshiko Sato in Doctor Who and Torchwood.
Mori was born in 1971 in Nagoya, Japan, and grew up in Japan, New Jersey, USA, and London. When Mori was twelve, she moved to England.[citation needed] Her father was sent back to Japan when Mori was fifteen.[citation needed] She was then given the choice of either staying in London or moving back with her father.[citation needed] She chose to stay in England, partly because she wanted to finish her GCSEs and gain some qualifications. She attended the Royal Russell School.
Her father later opened a bank account for her, handed her a cheque book and told her to find a flat or a bed sit for herself to live in.[citation needed] Mori said that being on her own at such a young age helped her to be a very independent person, although it was still a scary world to be faced so young.[citation needed]
