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.

Famous quotes containing the word channels:
“It is worth the while to detect new faculties in man,—he is so much the more divine; and anything that fairly excites our admiration expands us. The Indian, who can find his way so wonderfully in the woods, possesses an intelligence which the white man does not,—and it increases my own capacity, as well as faith, to observe it. I rejoice to find that intelligence flows in other channels than I knew. It redeems for me portions of what seemed brutish before.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As every pool reflects the image of the sun, so every thought and thing restores us an image and creature of the supreme Good. The universe is perforated by a million channels for his activity. All things mount and mount.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
