Turner’s TCM launches on BT TV

Turner has launched classic movies channel TCM on the BT TV platform in the UK.

TCM will be part of BT’s entertainment package, offering movies including Jerry Maquire, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and the Mad Max trilogy.

TCM will also continue to air crime drama Longmire and US western Hell on Wheels, with both series exclusively premiering on TCM UK from late 2016.

“TCM was watched by more adults in 2015 than any other pay TV movie channel and this success is testament to our renowned and celebrated line up of Hollywood movies and hit drama series. We’re thrilled to be launching the channel on BT TV – further expanding the channel’s reach and strengthening our relationship with an important and growing market player,” said Dan Fahy, senior director, commercial development, northern Europe, Turner.
