History
Megamax was first launched in Hungary on 18 April 2011 at 16:00 CET on Telekom and timeshared with Zone Club, which was broadcast 24 hours a day since New Year's Day 2007.[2] On 1 September 2011, Megamax increased broadcast time from 13:00 CET, and on 1 December 2011 from 07:00 CET.[3] On 1 February 2012, Zone Club closed, and the channel became available on the Hungarian UPC Direct.[4]
The channel was launched in Romania on 19 November 2012 [5] and on 1 December 2012, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.[6]
Megamax began running 24 hours a day in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia on 1 October 2014 and in Romania on 15 January 2015.[7]
Despite having obtained retransmission agreements with most operators, on 4 November 2019, AMC announced the channel's closure. The main reason of the closure was that the channel failed to obtain a higher audience share to run Hungarian advertising.
