Brussels - 1 October 2007 - This week, Man-X will be officially launched as the first Pan-European Gay Channel. Man-X broadcasts the best erotic content for men who love men. The daily schedule consists of gay movies and thematic evenings dedicated to specific gay movie stars and events. The brand new channel starts off in Belgium and the Netherlands, but France and Germany will follow shortly. Negotiations are ongoing with several other European Digital Platforms. Man-X : Gay only! Man-X offers the best European Hardcore films. The channel consciously bans all lifestyle items that treat the target group in a stereotype way. "A gay viewer is just like any other viewer" according to initiator TV4U. "It's not because someone is gay, that a channel should be telling this person where to go on holiday or which car he should buy to fit in with his community. There are no specific gay holiday destinations and no specific gay cars. What makes someone gay is his sexual orientation, period. Therefore, we limit ourselves to gay erotic content, nothing more, nothing less. We want to offer the best that's out there. Nobody has ever done this on a Pan-European scale and the initial reception from digital television platforms is extremely positive." Man-X: Exclusive films Man-X brings "state-of-the-art" material with award winning movies from the "Amsterdam European Gay Awards 2007". Among them are movies starring "Best Newcomer in a leading role" Thomas Dyk and "Best Director" Vlado Iresh. Thematic evenings dedicated to specific gay movie stars and events will be scheduled regularly. All films will be broadcasted in their original language. Man-X stands for 100% films and 100% gay passion! How to receive Man-X?
