Turner Classic Movies is a digital television channel featuring commercial-free classic movies, mostly from the Turner Entertainment and Warner Bros. film libraries, which include many MGM, United Artists, RKO and Warner Bros. titles, mainly classic films (e.g. ''The Wizard of Oz'' or ''Citizen Kane''). 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. It 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. In India, this channel was exclusively available on Dish TV until 15 March 2009. Now it is available on IN Digital Cable from the Hinduja Group and from 31 August 2009, on Tata Sky. The channel has been discontinued on Tata Sky from 15 September 2012. From 1 July 2011, TCM began offering movies to Australia & New Zealand audiences in 16:9 widescreen.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Mediaweek Australia – Sub TV )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turner Classic Movies (Asia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
