Turner Classic Movies, a movie-oriented network that was originally established as a cable channel in the United States, has expanded to include worldwide versions.
The European feed was launched in 1999 until January 1, 2014, when its predecessor, the international version of TNT, dropped its film programming to become a general entertainment channel.
In Romania, Turner Classic Movies aired after Cartoon Network on the same channel from 10:00 PM, local time.
The channel, which is a spin-off from the UK version of Turner Classic Movies, Turner Classic Movies 2 focuses mainly on the bigger films from the MGM and Warner film archives, including Citizen Kane, The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, It Happened At The World's Fair, Speedway, North by Northwest and Meet Me in St. Louis, among others.
In September 2013, Turner Broadcasting System revealed its plans to close down the pan-European channel for the Benelux market.
Currently, TCM is only available in Spain, France, Switzerland and Belgium and the Middle East, North Africa, Greece, and Cyprus.
