Arena is an Australian cable and satellite channel available on Foxtel, Austar and Optus Television's subscription platforms. It was owned and operated by XYZnetworks until October 1, 2007 when it became a wholly-owned Foxtel channel.[3]
In April 2008, Foxtel announced its intent to re-brand its presentation, following an alignment with Bravo Media in the US. Arena will utilise the Bravo slogan "Watch What Happens" and have access to Bravo-produced products.[4]
