AXS TV (pronounced "access") is an American specialty television channel. Majority-owned by Anthem Sports & Entertainment, it is devoted primarily to live music programming, entertainment, and combat sports—including mixed martial arts and professional wrestling.

The network was originally established in 2001 as HDNet, with investor Mark Cuban as a founding partner. HDNet was originally intended as an exclusively-high-definition network, carrying general entertainment, concerts, and sporting events in the format. In 2012, with the network's original purpose becoming redundant (due to most mainstream cable networks now having HD feeds), HDNet sold stakes to Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), Creative Artists Agency, and Ryan Seacrest (with Cuban retaining a majority stake), and rebranded under its current name (taken from AEG's online ticket platform AXS.com) on July 2, 2012—with the network shifting its content to include more entertainment and pop culture-oriented programming, alongside its existing live music content.

In September 2019, Anthem acquired a majority stake in AXS, with AEG and Cuban retaining minority stakes.

History[edit]

Logo as HDNet

The network originally launched as HDNet on September 6, 2001, designed as a high definition-exclusive service under the ownership of HDNet, LLC, which then was co-owned by Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and Philip Garvin, owner of Colorado Studios and Mobile TV Group.[1] Originally, the network aired a variety of programming, much of it male-oriented, prominently featuring series, sports events, and concert performances.[2] In December 2001 and January 2002, HDNet aired exclusive HD coverage of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan with former CNN correspondent Peter Arnett.[3] In February 2002, the network originated eight daily hours of high definition content from the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City; this feed was picked up by NBC and aired in 24-hour rotation on the digital signals of NBC's stations.[4]

The channel gradually expanded its carriage to the satellite providers DirecTV and Dish Network, as well as the cable providers Charter Communications, Insight Communications, Mediacom, Suddenlink Communications, Verizon FiOS, and AT&T U-verse.[5] On September 4, 2008, Cuban announced that the network had reached an agreement with Comcast to carry both HDNet and HDNet Movies in various markets.[6] The provider began to carry HDNet in many major markets on September 30, 2010. In November 2009, DirecTV became the first provider to offer video-on-demand services of HDNet and HDNet Movies.[7]

AXS TV[edit]

On January 18, 2012, HDNet, LLC entered into a joint venture with entertainment company/promoter Anschutz Entertainment Group, TV/radio personality/producer Ryan Seacrest, and talent agency Creative Artists Agency, in which AEG, CAA, and Ryan Seacrest Media would each purchase a share of the network, with Cuban retaining primary ownership.[8] The network rebranded on July 2, 2012 as AXS TV, a name taken from AEG's ticket sales website AXS.[9][10][11][12] With the purchase and rebranding, the channel gradually shifted focus to include a mix of entertainment news, lifestyle, pop culture and in-concert performance events.[13]

Alongside the rebranding, Dish Network announced that it would expand the channel's distribution to customers who do not subscribe to an HD tier through a downconverted standard definition feed.[14] The provider moved the network to channel 131 in the spring of 2012, increasing its carriage to at least 14 million Dish Network subscribers upon its relaunch as AXS TV.[15][16] Through its relationship with AEG, AXS TV also planned to offer special promotions on concerts to Dish Network users who have subscribed to the channel.[11] On February 14, 2013, CBS Corporation took a minority stake in the channel, in exchange for providing content and marketing (suggesting that the channel could air complementary programming for CBS-aired entertainment events such as the Grammy Awards).[17]

In addition to carriage on cable, satellite and telco providers, AXS TV has been added to streaming media providers including Sling TV in October 2016,[18] DirecTV Now when it debuted in November 2016,[19] and Philo when it was launched in November 2017.[20]

Sale to Anthem[edit]

On September 9, 2019, the Canadian company Anthem Sports & Entertainment announced that it had acquired a majority stake in AXS TV and HDNet Movies. Mark Cuban and AEG will retain interests in the company as minority equity partners, while AEG will also continue to provide additional sales support for the network through its AEG Global Partnerships unit. Television personality Steve Harvey was also brought in as an additional financier and content partner.[21]

Anthem's founder and owner Leonard Asper stated that there were no plans to make any major changes to AXS TV's scope of programming, as the company saw the channel as expanding its fields of business rather than wanting to turn it into "something we already have". Asper did not rule out the possibility of adding programming from Anthem's other properties when appropriate and complementary to its format; shortly after the purchase, it was announced that Impact!—the weekly flagship program of the company's professional wrestling promotion, Impact Wrestling—would move from minority-owned sister network Pursuit Channel to AXS TV.[22][23]

The sale resulted in the layoff of 40 employees, consisting mainly of redundancies with Anthem staff.[24]

Programming[edit]

AXS TV primarily airs music-oriented series with a particular focus on the Rock and Pop genres. Such programming includes documentaries, interviews, panel shows and concerts. AXS also airs combat sports programming, including Combate Americas, and professional wrestling promotions Women of Wrestling and Anthem-owned Impact Wrestling.

The network dropped UFL coverage prior to the 2011 season.[43] Following its July 2012 re-launch, AXS TV continued to air several programs carried over from HDNet, including Dan Rather Reports,[44] MMA events (under the AXS TV Fights banner),[45] movies, and off-network series.
