'''AXN''' was an Indian [[pay television]] channel that was owned by Sony Pictures Networks . Funded through [[advertising]] and [[subscription]] fees, AXN primarily focused on action genre and reality programming.

==History==
AXN launched in the [[Indian subcontinent]] on 8 January 1999 as a flagship feed of [[AXN (Asian TV channel)|AXN Asia]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Joshi|first=Namrata|date=26 October 1998|title=Sony to launch India's first genre-based channel, AXN|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/society-the-arts/story/19981026-sony-to-launch-indias-first-genre-based-channel-axn-827265-1998-10-26|access-date=27 June 2020|website=[[India Today]]}}</ref> During the channel's early years it operated as a genre-based network, airing mainly action films, action programmes, action animation and action sports.

Facing tough competition from rival networks [[Zee Café]] and [[Star World (Indian TV channel)|Star World]] and a precipitous decline in the international [[broadcast syndication|syndication]] market for fictional action series and films, the channel shifted in mid-2005 by gradually incorporating more and more drama and comedy based programs into its schedule in order to attract more viewers and replicate the success shows such as ''[[Friends]]'' (comedy) and ''[[Law & Order]]'' (drama) had found on other channels. Big acquisitions included ''[[24 (TV series)|24]]'' and the ''[[CSI (franchise)|CSI franchise.]]''<ref name="July2005" />

The channel's high-definition feed was launched on 6 April 2015,<ref>{{Cite web|date=25 March 2015|title=AXN unveils HD channel and new programming line-up|url=https://www.exchange4media.com/amp/media-tv-news/axn-unveils-hd-channel-and-new-programming-line-up-59474.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200711050806/https://www.exchange4media.com/amp/media-tv-news/axn-unveils-hd-channel-and-new-programming-line-up-59474.html|archive-date=11 July 2020|website=exchange4media}}</ref> which carried the same schedule as the SD feed but with different commercials.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}

'''Rebranding'''

The channel underwent a rebranding on 24 January 2016 with the addition of the slogan Live R.E.D standing for Reality, Entertainment and Drama. With this transformation, the channel sought to further diversify its portfolio away from its action genre by airing action shows with more intense, smart and unexpected characters.<ref>{{Cite web|date=21 January 2016|title=Sony Picture Networks India rebrands AXN|url=https://www.indiantelevision.com/television/tv-channels/english-entertainment/sony-picture-networks-india-rebrands-axn-160121|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200711050248/https://www.indiantelevision.com/television/tv-channels/english-entertainment/sony-picture-networks-india-rebrands-axn-160121|archive-date=11 July 2020|website=Indian Television}}</ref>

To further its mission of diversification, the channel forged a multi-year deal with [[CBS Studios International|CBS Studios]] in July 2014, acquiring exclusive broadcast rights to [[CBS|the network's]] shows in India.<ref>{{Cite web|date=29 July 2014|title=AXN India and CBS Studios International Announce Multi-Year Television Deal|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/tv/trade-news/hindi/AXN-India-and-CBS-Studios-International-Announce-Multi-Year-Television/articleshow/39224815.cms|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20200711051011/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/trade-news/hindi/AXN-India-and-CBS-Studios-International-Announce-Multi-Year-Television/articleshow/39224815.cms|archive-date=11 July 2020|website=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref> The acquisition of the critically acclaimed [[Hulu]] original series ''[[The Handmaid's Tale (TV series)|The Handmaid's Tale]]'' for first airing in India also helped greatly in attracting more viewers for the channel and advertising the channel's content.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}

==Closure==
The channel's viewership began to gradually decline since early 2019, post the implementation of the new tariff order (NTO) by the [[Telecom Regulatory Authority of India]] which mandated that channels should not be bundled in packs, leading to a sharp fall in demand for niche channels.<ref name=":0" />

Consequently, on 1 June 2020 [[Sony Pictures Networks India]] announced that effective from 30 June 2020 AXN would cease all operations in India for both its SD and HD feeds, with the majority of its programming moving to Sony's SVOD service, [[Sony Liv]],<ref>{{Cite web|date=1 June 2020|title=AXN, AXN HD Will Be Taken Offline June 30, Sony Pictures Networks India Reveals|url=https://gadgets.ndtv.com/entertainment/news/axn-india-hd-channel-exit-end-june-30-sony-india-pictures-networks-2238648|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200711052205/https://gadgets.ndtv.com/entertainment/news/axn-india-hd-channel-exit-end-june-30-sony-india-pictures-networks-2238648|archive-date=11 July 2020|website=[[NDTV]]}}</ref> thus ending the channel's existence of 21 years.

Fall in ad revenue during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] and further decline in viewership due to the advent of [[Subscription video on demand|SVOD]] platforms in India were also cited as reasons behind the channel's closure.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|date=22 June 2020|title=Niche TV channels go off the air as covid hits ad revenue|url=https://www.livemint.com/industry/media/niche-tv-channels-go-off-the-air-as-covid-hits-ad-revenue-11592844966772.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210312170611/https://www.livemint.com/industry/media/niche-tv-channels-go-off-the-air-as-covid-hits-ad-revenue-11592844966772.html|archive-date=12 March 2021|website=[[Mint (newspaper)|Mint]]}}</ref>
