The channel was launched on October 3, 1988, with the purpose to air classic films and television series to which Turner Broadcasting System maintained spillover rights through sister channel TBS. In June 2001, the network went through a major shift in its programming and began to focus on drama series and feature films, along with some sporting events (including NHL, U.S. Soccer, the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament and the professional wrestling show AEW Collision), as TBS shifted its focus to comedic programming.
