DMAX is a men's lifestyle television channel in Germany.

As the only free receivable mainstream channel with a focus on non-fiction entertainment, DMAX is currently unique in German media.

[edit] XXP origins

DMAX is the Discovery Communications creation from the originally German sourced and owned station XXP. Discovery purchased XXP on 1 January 2006. DMAX was launched as a free TV channel from 1 September, targeted at men from 20 to 39.

DMAX focuses on men's hobbies, and its range of programmes is aimed at men looking for more than the current offer of sports and news programmes. DMAX involves a mix of adventure and discovery, cars and technology, popular science, DIY and travel. However, DMAX does not include football or erotic programmes.

Patrick Hörl is Managing Director, while Katja Hofem-Best, who comes from RTL II, is CEO.

[edit] Some programmes shown on DMAX
