WarnerTV Film, formerly Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and TNT Film, is a German pay television channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery International. The channel broadcasts movies both in their original language and dubbed into German.
The channel launched on the Arena satellite platform with a full 24-hour schedule in December 2006 as Turner Classic Movies. It has later become available from other distributors, including Premiere from September 2007. On July 4, 2009, the channel was rebranded as TNT Film and started to feature recent films more prominently. The channel also switched to the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio.[1]
The channel changed its name to WarnerTV Film on September 25, 2021, after the ad made on June 14 that same year.[2]
