Channels
The Movie Channel operates two multiplex channels and an On Demand service. The Movie Channel also packages the Eastern and Pacific feeds of the main channel and its multiplex services together, giving viewers a second chance to watch the same movie/program three hours earlier or later — depending on their geographic location:
- The Movie Channel: The "flagship" channel; blockbuster and smaller first-run films, independent films and late-night erotica; broadcasts a featured movie around 8 p.m. ET each night and features a horror movie double feature on Saturday nights at 10 p.m. ET as part of "Splatterday on Saturday".
- The Movie Channel Xtra: Secondary channel providing more movie choice for viewers, counterprogrammed with The Movie Channel. Features a nightly feature movie around 9 p.m. ET, and rebroadcasts TMC's "Splatterday" block from the previous week on Friday nights at 10 p.m. ET; formerly known as The Movie Channel 2 from its 1997 launch until 2001.

“Television is becoming a collage—there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different.”

“The enthusiastic uprising of the people in our cause, is our great reliance; and we can not safely give it any check, even though it overflows, and runs in channels not laid down in any chart.”
