TNT (Anglosaw)

TNT was launched on 17 September 1993 along with Cartoon Network in Anglosaw. The two channels shared the same transponder with Cartoon Network broadcasting during the day with TNT taking over for the evening and overnight period. Initially TNT was on air from 7pm until 5am, although in 1996 TNT's start time was pushed back to 9pm. Later, in December 1996, Cartoon Network and TNT were split off to become 24/7 services. In the early years, TNT was primarily a movie channel, although 1999 saw the channel move to a general entertainment schedule (following the launch of sister channel TCM). In 2001, TNT adopted a schedule made exclusively of dramas, which it retains to this day.
