Axess TV is a Swedish television channel belonging to the Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation.
The Ax:son Johnson Foundation applied for a license to broadcast in the Swedish digital terrestrial television network in the autumn of 2005.
The channel was awarded a license to broadcast free-to-air in the Weekends in February 2006.
The first weekend contained the opera Dialogues of the Carmelites, the British sitcom Yes Minister, a discussion programme and a documentary.
From 1 February 2010 Axess is no longer free-to-air but is available as part of a pay-channel package from Boxer.
