Warner TV is a TV channel that you pay to watch. It mainly shows programs in Latin America, Europe, and parts of Asia. This channel is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. It focuses on showing TV series and movies from the United States.

Most shows on Warner TV are in their original English sound. They often have subtitles in other languages like Spanish, Portuguese, or Chinese. Sometimes, shows are also dubbed. This means the original voices are replaced with voices in another language. In 2015, the channel in Latin America started dubbing more shows. This made some viewers unhappy, as they preferred subtitles.

Warner TV has offices in places like Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Singapore, and Malaysia. However, the shows for Latin America are broadcast from Miami. Shows for Asian viewers are broadcast from Singapore. In 2017, Warner TV also started in France. It took the place of another channel called Syfy there.

The shows and movies you see on Warner TV come from the huge collection of Warner Bros.. Warner Bros. allowed the channel to use its name until 2019.

How Warner TV Grew

Different Channels for Different Places

In March 2015, the Warner TV channel in the Philippines became separate from the main Southeast Asian channel. This meant it started showing a different schedule of programs.

In April 2020, the French version of Warner TV also began broadcasting in parts of Africa.

Adult Swim and Rebranding

In May 2020, Warner TV in Latin America and Brazil started showing a special block of programs called Adult Swim. This block included popular shows like Rick and Morty, Robot Chicken, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Later, more shows like Metalocalypse were added. However, in November 2021, the Adult Swim block was removed from Warner TV.

Warner TV has also replaced other channels in Europe. In June 2021, it was announced that the TNT channels in Germany would change their name to Warner TV. This happened on September 25, 2021.

Then, in July 2021, TNT channels in Poland and Romania also announced they would become Warner TV. This change happened on October 23, 2021.

In October 2022, a new Warner TV channel was launched in Italy. This one is special because it's a free-to-air channel. This means you don't have to pay extra to watch it if you have a digital TV.

Most recently, in February 2023, it was announced that the TNT channel in Spain would also change its name to Warner TV. This change happened on April 14, 2023.
