Retro was a Latin American cable television network with classic programming that included movies and popular classic TV Series. It was owned by Turner Broadcasting System Latin America/Time Warner. Its headquarters were located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Retro was replaced by truTV on April 1, 2009 at 6pm.[2]

On March 25, 2009 Turner Broadcasting System announced the replacement of Retro by a Latin American version of the channel truTV, also owned by Turner Broadcasting System. Most of the programming from Retro is still being aired on TCM Classic Entertainment.[3]

On April 1, 2009 at 8:30am UTC (5:30am Argentinean time) the channel aired its last show, an episode of the classic animated series Robotech. At 9:00pm UTC (6:00am Argentinean time) the channel changed to truTV.

Around Latin America, some cable television companies in some countries decided to put TCM Classic Entertainment on the space of Retro instead of truTV.
