The great outdoors genre will feature programs that lead audiences into the thick of wild action in Homer, Alaska featured in ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER, the Appalachia featured in BACKYARD OIL and the rolling hills of Indiana in PORTER RIDGE. “Bros” of DMAX can also kick back with factual entertainment titles like BOUNTY WARS, AMERICA’S WORST TATTOOS and OUTRAGEOUS 911.

 

DMAX will also launch with a focus on a different genre every night from Monday to Thursday:

· Making Money Mondays feature transactional reality titles.

· Ultimate Turbo Tuesdays are helmed by motoring programmes.

· Lifestyle & Culture Wednesdays provide an inside look at extreme behaviours, beliefs and attitudes.

· Get Outside Thursdays take the great outdoors into living rooms.

No matter what passions or interests men may have, DMAX will unite all who crave adrenaline-filled adventure, are ready to release their inhibitions and have a no-nonsense attitude of living life their way.
