In January 2007, AXN was given a two month ban from the Indian government for airing the programme 'World's Sexiest Commercials', with the reasons of the show being "against good taste or decency" and "likely to affect public morality" .[1][2] This ban was lifted two weeks early on February 28, 2007 after AXN submitted an apology.[3]
