AXN is an pan-Asian pay television channel owned by KC Global Media Asia, which is based in Singapore. It primarily airs action, police procedural, and crime-arrested shows, officially showcasing content by Mediacorp. The network was formerly wholly owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, but the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa channels were sold to KC Global Media in January 2020.[2]

Programming

AXN primarily airs American and British shows (including selected shows from Sony Pictures Television, as well as third-party content from CBS Studios International, NBCUniversal Television and Fremantle), with new episodes airing on the same day of their U.S. telecast. The channel also airs original programming specifically made for Southeast Asian viewers as well as Hollywood box office movies from Sony Pictures Entertainment (Columbia and TriStar).

Anime programming

Upon its launch, in the late 1990s and early 21st century, AXN used to broadcast several anime series, many of them in Japanese audio with English subtitles and held annual anime festivals around Southeast Asia.[3][4] Its anime programming would later be moved to Animax Asia in 2004, the preparations for which Sony had been planning since the late 1990s.[4] In the last quarter of 2010, selected English-dubbed anime programs from Animax Asia were broadcast during mornings and late-afternoon. This feed was then made available in the Philippines only, but was discontinued in August 2016 as AXN would focus on its main programming.[citation needed]

There are two feeds for the channel. One is aimed at viewers in Hong Kong and Thailand only, while the other one is aimed towards the rest of the region. Programming on both feeds are the same, with the exception of local advertising. The Philippine feed also sometimes modifies its own programming due to broadcast issues.
