Background
The channel, created by Ted Turner as part of his Turner Broadcasting System, began broadcasting on April 14, 1994. Robert Edward "Ted" Turner III (born November 19, 1938) is an American Media proprietor and philanthropist. Turner Broadcasting System Inc (often abbreviated TBS Networks or TBS Inc Events 43 BC - Battle of Forum Gallorum: Mark Antony, besieging Julius Caesar 's assassin Decimus Junius Brutus in Year 1994 ( MCMXCIV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full 1994 Gregorian calendar) The date was chosen for its significance as "the exact centennial anniversary of the first public movie showing in New York City. " The very first movie ever screened on TCM was the 1939 classic epic. "Gone With The Wind". Gone with the Wind is a 1939 American dramatic - romantic - War film adapted from Margaret Mitchell 's 1936
Before the creation of TCM, quite a few titles from its vast library of movies were broadcast — with commercial interruptions — on Turner's TNT channel, along with Turner's controversial colorized versions of black-and-white classics such as The Maltese Falcon. Turner Network Television, usually referred to as TNT, is an American cable TV network created by media mogul Ted Turner and currently owned Film colorization is any process that involves adding Color to Black and white, sepia or monochrome moving-picture images The Maltese Falcon is a 1930 Detective novel by Dashiell Hammett, originally serialized in the magazine " Black Mask "
When TCM was created in 1994, however, colorization did not carry over to the new channel. As Gary R. Edgerton wrote in the winter 2000 issue of The Journal of Popular Film and Television, TCM immediately advertised itself in April 1994 "with the promise: 'uninterrupted, uncolorized and commercial-free!' Attitudes had evidently come full circle. Colorization was now unfashionable and unprofitable — even for Ted Turner and his colleagues at TBS. "
In 1996, the Turner Broadcasting System merged with Time Warner. Year 1996 ( MCMXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar) Time Warner Inc ( is the world's largest media and entertainment conglomerate, headquartered in New York City.
