STORY4
STORY4 primarily emphasizes entertainment for women, as evidenced by the countless romantic series and telenovelas scheduled in its programming. It also carries national TV premieres, such as the German-made "Country Doctor" series, one of the most successful German hospital shows of recent years. Our goal is to entertain the whole family, which is why we broadcast "The A-Team”, “Northern Exposure”, “Rizzoli and Isles” and for fans of classics, "Das Erbe der Guldenburgs" series. "Dream and Love," which adapts bestsellers by Rosamunde Pilcher, Katie Fforde, and Inga Lindström, as well as "Das Traumhotel" and "Das Traumschiff," appeal to fans of romantic productions.
TV4
TV4 is the home of non-violent classic favorites, films and series. Its programming slate is built up from ever popular series such as "The Blacklist”, “Chicago Fire”, "Death in Paradise," “The Arrow”. TV4 is the Hungarian home of the worldwide phenomenon FBI-series, and the French-made "Cassandre". These popular series are strengthened by Hollywood movies and tv shows produced by Sony, Universal, Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures, and Lionsgate studios, but alongside these studios, numerous other high-quality entertainment films and shows can also be found in the diverse lineup.
GALAXY4
GALAXY4 is the most male-oriented channel in NETWORK4 media group's portfolio. The backbone of the channel’s programming slate is a slew of crime shows. The channel's strength lies in providing insight into the international crime market, featuring such popular shows like the American hit series "Chicago PD" and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, the ongoing British hit "Midsomer Murders", New Zealand's popular " Brokenwood Mysteries," the German "Tatort" (on air since 1970), plus "Ellis" and “Van der Valk” also from Great Britain. There's never a shortage of new content either, as the lineup is continuously refreshed, so crime fans can always find something new, whether through new seasons of ongoing series or completely new and captivating crime shows.
FILM4
Building on the traditions of the well-known Hallmark Channel, FILM4 broadcasts motion pictures and TV-films that are primarily popular among women. Most of the content shown on FILM4 is dealing with contemporary, modern problems and family stories, as well as heartwarming romantic comedies and some female oriented thrillers. FILM4 equally focuses on American and European productions, mainly German, French, and English productions, specifically in the areas of romantic films and women's crime shows and thrillers.
ARENA4
ARENA4 is one of Hungary's most popular sports channels. Its programming rests on three pillars: football, American sports, and technical sports. Football mainly means the Bundesliga, with 4-6 German first division matches per round shown here, primarily featuring Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig, as well as Italian Cup matches, German second division championships, and national team matches (Nations League games, European Championship and World Cup qualifiers) broadcast on screen. In terms of technical sports, two racing series are at the center: MotoGP, and the uncrowned king of North American motorsports, NASCAR. Those who are passionate about American sports get the NFL, the absolute king of professional leagues, whose broadcasts have become an experience for everyone owing to to the latest technical innovations.
MAX4
MAX4 offers the best content mix: romantic and light crime series, like “Charmed” or “Shakespeare and Hathaway”, the best films from American and European studios, original productions and some sports on weekends, too (ATP tennis, NFL, PDC Darts European Tour and NASCAR). The infotainment show "Galileo" returned to MAX4 with the well-known Olympian Leila Gyenesei as host. Galileo is a truly cult program that has been running successfully in Germany since 1998 and was previously shown on TV4 in Hungary. The Hungarian adaptation of the scientific educational program is produced under ProSiebenSat.1 license. The new episodes focus on natural sciences, gastronomy, travel, and human-interest stories, sometimes with an entertaining, sometimes with a serious tone. Galileo features 3-4 reports every weekday.
MATCH4
MATCH4 is the Network4 group's newest sports channel, the sister channel of ARENA4, which was launched in 2020. One of the pillars of its programming is the Premier League, with nearly 100 exclusive matches per season from the English championship shown here, primarily on Friday evenings, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and Monday evenings. MATCH4 also focuses prominently on the Italian football championship, with 4-5 matches per round shown from Serie A, which means teams like Inter, Juventus, Milan, Napoli, and Roma also appear here.
