AXN, the flagship English general entertainment (GE) channel of Sony Pictures Television (SPT) Networks, Asia once again had audiences across the country riveted, coveting the No. 1 spot as the country’s top English GE channel for the last 12 months.

We have a powerful line-up of series and events planned for the rest of the year, kicking off with America’s Got Talent later this month, so tune in for more thrills!”

AXN’s recent feats are attributed to its roster of groundbreaking original productions, such as Asia’s Got Talent and Adventure Your Way; top-rated drama series, and award-winning reality shows, making the channel the viewers’ clear favorite when it comes to entertainment.

To maintain its leadership throughout 2018, AXN will unleash a stellar programming line-up, including some of the most highly anticipated and popular new and returning drama series and reality shows.
