LMN (TV channel)

LMN (an abbreviation for its former name Lifetime Movie Network) is an American digital cable and satellite television network that is owned by A+E Networks, a joint venture between the Disney–ABC Television Group subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company and the Hearst Corporation. LMN carries movies and exclusive shows aimed at women, especially made for television movies. Many, though not all, of the movies that air on the network are Lifetime originals that were first shown on the flagship Lifetime channel; in turn, the network also premieres original films that are later broadcast on Lifetime. Other made-for-TV movies shown on LMN originally aired on broadcast networks.

As of February 2015, LMN is available to approximately 82,031,000 pay television households (70.5% of households with television) in the United States.

History

The network launched in June 1998 as the Lifetime Movie Network.Variety praised the move as "capitalizing on the expected channel boom from TV’s conversion to digital distribution over the next few years." However, it only reached 3 million of the 70 million cable subscribers in the U.S. at the time.
