BREAKING. Turner Classic Movies (TCM) channel rebranding; will be changing its look with its focus on younger viewers.


The movie channel Turner Classic Movies (DStv 109) is rebranding which means changes in the look of the channel for South African viewers.

The British version of TCM will be rebranded to reflect the channel's new focus on younger and ''female-inclusive'' audiences. Since MultiChoice gets the UK/Ireland feed of TCM for South Africa and the rest of Africa on DStv, it means that TCM will soon be changing.

TCM didn't immediately respond to enquiries I've made about the coming changes, what it will entail and exactly when it will be happening.

UPDATE Tuesday 12 July 10:15 - TCM says ''TCM South Africa had a rebrand two years ago so nothing is planned at the moment.''
