CNX (TV channel)


CNX was a channel operated by Turner Broadcasting System Europe in the UK and Ireland. It was aimed at a male audience, with daytime programming aimed at older children and teenagers, and evening programming aimed at older teenagers and young adults. The channel was carried in the 'Entertainment' section of the Sky programme guide and was also available on cable. The channel was advertised with a promo featuring the character Brak from The Brak Show singing C is for comedy N is for Japanese animation X is for Extreme, as well as a promo showing Aku from Samurai Jack morphing into silhouettes of characters of shows from the channel.

Programming

The channel's programming was divided between an adult-aimed output in the evenings and younger skewing programming under the Toonami block, which was moved to the channel in May 2003 after a few months of the former toonami shows being shown under the CNX identity. The station primarily aired anime, extreme sports, and dramas. The channel's film telecasts predominantly consisted of martial arts films, anime films and action/drama.
The channel closed as CNX at 1am on 8 September 2003, with a Turner spokesperson saying "the adult market is crowded and competitive."
