New AXN Branded Networks to Roll Out in Central Europe

BUDAPEST: Sony Pictures Television is delivering local language versions of AXN Black and AXN White in Central Europe.

AXN White broadcasts scripted series from the U.S. and Europe. Programming includes shows such as The Client List, Grand Hotel, More than Anything and Heartland, along with feature films like Eat Pray Love. AXN Black features more action-led programming, both scripted and unscripted. The lineup includes such series as Spartacus, No Limit, Justified, Black Gold, Duck Commander and Hero.

The new channels will roll out across Central Europe starting in October, including in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. AXN Black and AXN White will replace AXN Sci-Fi and AXN Crime in the region.

John Rossiter, the general manager of SPT Networks for Central Europe, said: “We’re thrilled to introduce two new AXN branded channels for Central Europe. The move reflects our commitment to providing the very best products and content to meet the demands of cable operators and audiences. This latest addition significantly expands our offer with fast-paced action heroes on AXN Black and inspiring, character-led story telling on AXN White.”
