History
The African website, TCMAfrica.com, launched in 2010.
Turner Classic Movies Africa switched to a 16:9 widescreen presentation on 15 November 2015.
On December 27, 2015, Turner Classic Movies stopped broadcasting on OSN and moved to beIN in the Arab world.[2] This was the result of an agreement between Turner Broadcasting System EMEA and beIN which moved all of the former's pay-TV channels to the latter, including Turner Classic Movies, Cartoon Network, Boomerang and CNN.[3]
On 1 January 2016, TCM MEA was split into TCM Africa and TCM MENA. On 21 September 2018, TCM Africa was rebranded to TNT Africa with this version being a movie channel carrying a bit of Turner Classic Movies in its line-up for a modern audience across Africa on DStv and Black. The rebranding allowed TCM Africa to offer such films as Doom, Gladiator The Green Mile, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, The Illusionist, Robin Hood, and Tango & Cash for at least two days.[4] On 18 December 2018, TNT Africa and Cartoon Network Africa were launched in HD on DStv.[5][6] In January 2021, TNT Africa was rebranded, and announced on 22 January that the channel would begin airing AEW Dynamite with their secondary show AEW Rampage airing later that year.[7][8]
