It is the Asian iteration of the US TCM.

History

The channel was launched (as TNT) in October 1994. TCM & Cartoon Network (formerly TNT & Cartoon Network) was a time shared satellite channel that aired TCM from 21:00 CET to 6:00 CET (from 20:00 GMT to 5:00 GMT) and IST respectively and Cartoon Network the remaining time, mainly for analogue cable systems across Europe and India, although it was originally targeted at the Republic of Ireland, India and the United Kingdom. It was formerly free-to-air, but is now carried encrypted and provided only to cable companies and on some commercial satellite systems. Its was one of the three movie channels available on Foxtel, and Austar in Australia. TCM and Cartoon Network became two separate channels operating in Europe and the Indian Subcontinent in 1999.

In April 2000 the channel was rebranded as Turner Classic Movies.[2]

In India, this channel was exclusively available on Dish TV until March 15, 2009. Now it is available on IN Digital Cable from the Hinduja Group and from 31 August, 2009, on Tata Sky.
