On AXN (Ch.19, UBC), the heart of action and adventure television, you’re amongst the first to find out who will be the next Amazing Race millionaires as the special 2-hr finale of The Amazing Race 6 is broadcast direct from U.S. satellite on 9 Feb, 9am, with a repeat broadcast of the finale scheduled at 8pm on the same day.

Twice Emmy-award winner for Best Reality-Competition Program, The Amazing Race continues to draw in the fans with more drama and heart-stopping action in the sixth season. Fans of the series can now be among the first in the world to find out which team will clinch the cool US$1 million cash prize, as AXN presents the finale in a special simulcast with the U.S. on 9 Feb, via a direct satellite downlink.
AXN has also secured exclusive regional broadcast rights to The Amazing Race 7, set to premiere Asia-wide this March on the action-adventure channel.
Currently in The Amazing Race 6, four remaining teams are left in the race to win a million dollars - dating models Aaron & Hayden, engaged models Freddy & Kendra, former couple Adam & Rebecca, and long-distance daters Kris & Jon.
February will also see the latest season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (Season 5) making its highly anticipated debut across Asia on 16 Feb at 9pm, first and exclusively on AXN. Winner of People’s Choice Award for Favorite Television Drama Series for three years running, CSI is the biggest and most successful crime series to hit the U.S. and the world. The upcoming fifth season will see the return of Gil Grissom and his team in the new season, and reveal a shocking twist mid-season that will see the team splitting up, and a surprise addition to the cast.
The popularity of CSI has also spawned two spin-offs, CSI: Miami and the brand new CSI: NY. Both spin-offs are also broadcast first and exclusively on AXN across Asia, and CSI: NY will make its Asia-wide debut this April, only on AXN.
