	Movies - CNX

CNX was a channel operated by Turner Broadcasting in the UK and Ireland aimed at the 16-34 male audience, first started broadcasting on October 14, 2002 and lasted until September 7, 2003 when it was changed to the Toonami channel. The station was based around three key ingredients -- Action, Adventure and Anime -- which formed the backbone of the schedule. The Daytime Schedule consisted largely of Anime and more 'mature' cartoons from the existing Toonami blocks on Cartoon Network while the evening moved into more non-censored Anime which would have been aired on Adult Swim in the US at the time. Later there were the 'Triple A Movies' which were a combination of Martial arts films, Anime films and otherwise. The channel later in the evenings broadcast mainstream television programmes such as The Shield.

Daytime Broadcasting

The Daytime Schedule consisted of the child-friendly Toonami versions of such shows as:

Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball Z
Dragon Ball GT
Chris Colorado
Batman of the Future
Justice League
X-Men: Evolution
Gundam Wing
Samurai Jack
Tenchi Muyo!

These shows were mainly Edited versions which were retained when the channel moved to Toonami.

Evening Broadcasting

The Late evening block consisted originally of material both animated and live-action (fully unedited); which some of it would have been shown unedited on the United States Cartoon Network's 'Adult Swim' Block, including:

Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Spawn
Birds of Prey
Kung Fu
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Harvey Birdman
The Brak Show
The Shield

Since CNX's demise, most of these shows have not been either repeated, or had their later seasons premiered. (Although Outlaw Star was repeated at least once on Toonami, unedited very late at night)

Triple A Movies

The "Triple A Movies" block, which stood for the channel's combination of "Action, Adventure and Anime" showed mainly Martial Arts films but showed other material as well, a selection being:

2002

Trailer Park

Trailer Park was a kind of 'magazine show', described on the now-defunct CNX website as: "Featuring the very best of free sports lifestyle programmes, including 'Chilli Factor'. From mid-November drop in to 'Trailer-Park TV' a brand new show brought to you by Christian Stevenson (AKA 'Seth-Seth Antoine') and Ed Leigh (AKA 'Carlos Fandango') from their gleaming chrome trailer parked under a cityscape flyover. 'Trailer Park' is your daily flyby of kick-ass, action, anime, movies and gaming."
