The classic movie channel, TNT, has been rechristened asTCM or Turner Classic Movies from 2 April.

The channel owned by the Turner Entertainment Networks Asia Inc, has been renamed to create a seperate identity for itself and to distinguish itself from the Cartoon Network and TNT brand both of which were spoken in the same breath.

The channel will now have a fresh treat for its viewers and show at least 40 new classics which have never been telecast in the Asia Pacific region.
