}}Turner Classic Movies was an Asian digital classic film 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 and Citizen Kane). It is the Asian iteration of the US Turner Classic Movies and airs in Indian Subcontinent, South East Asia and Middle East.[1]

After more than 24 years of broadcast, TCM ceased its transmission from 31 December 2018 in the several parts of Asia and gave thanks to its viewers before they sign-off on 2 January 2019 at midnight.

History

{{expand section|date=November 2016}}

The channel normally launched as TNT in October 1994, it was time shared with Cartoon Network,[2] and aired from 21:00 CET to 6:00 CET (from 20:00 UTC to 5:00 UTC) 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. Turner Classic Movies and Cartoon Network became two separate channels operating in Europe and the Indian subcontinent in 1999.[2]

In April 2000, TNT was rebranded as Turner Classic Movies.[2][3]

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's Australian and New Zealand feed began broadcasting in 9 widescreen.[4]

From 12 June 2012, TCM's Asian feed began broadcasting in 9 widescreen.

From 13 December 2016, Australian satellite and cable provider Foxtel ceased to offer TCM. It is believed the cause of the removal was due to the channel's repeated broadcasting of a limited catalogue of films. Ultimately, this saw TCM no longer available in Australia.[5] Foxtel has since been criticised by its customers for its decision.[6]

In December 2017 Starhub in Singapore unilaterally announced they were cancelling Turner Classic Movies from their channel line up at the end of the year, Meanwhile Turner Classic Movies was only available on Singtel TV.

On 30 November 2018, Sky Network Television in New Zealand replaced the channel with their own version called Sky Movies Vintage.[7]

On 31 December 2018, providers in the Philippines and Singapore will no longer available at the following providers such as SkyCable on Channel 105 and Singtel TV due to the channel were cease broadcast in South East Asian Region. The channel shut down along with TruTV due to Turner shifting itself to more profitable brands.[8]

And finally on 2 January 2019, Hong Kong subscribers will no longer available on following providers like Now TV on Channel 126 and Cable TV Hong Kong on Channel 220.
