Poland’s so-called ‘next –generation’ DTH platform ‘n’ is today launching the HD version of Sony’s action channel AXN.
The channel, distributed in Eastern Europe by HBO Polska, will feature popular US dramas including CSI: New York, CSI: Miami, Criminal Minds and NCIS. It also features the reality game show The Amazing Race.
“Monday marks the launch of the second HD channel for Platform ‘n’ this month and increases our number of HD channel offerings to 20 – the largest of any DTH platform in Poland,” said n COO Christian Anting. “The group of channels distributed by HBO Polska is a source of the best entertainment for our viewers”.
AXN HD was one of a number of channels licensed this month for Central & East East Europe by the UK regulator Ofcom. It followed clarification on when a licence was required for regional variations.
