The network also introduced popular German and American action-crime series such as Alarm für Cobra 11, CSI, Cold Case etc. to the Croatian audience. Popular shows from domestic production, Dvornikovi, Mjenjačnica, Wife Swap quickly became very popular amongst wide Croatian audience. They are regularly showing numerous American sitcoms and other television series from both domestic and foreign production as well as popular movies, predominantly from American production. The live broadcasts of sporting events such as boxing fights and Croatia's international football matches are occasionally also part of their program.
