Most programming air in their original English audio, with subtitles in Spanish (for Latin American countries and Spain except Brazil), Portuguese (for Brazil), Chinese (for Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore), Malaysian (for Malaysia) and Indonesian (for Indonesia), however, there are also some dubbed programming. On November 1, 2015, the Latin American channel changed it to dub a programming instead of just subtitling them. This caused an uproar to most of its audience.
Warner TV's headquarters are located in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Singapore, and Malaysia; the broadcasting, however, is based in Miami for Latin American viewers and Singapore for Asian viewers. On November 9, 2017, Turner Broadcasting System France and Canal+ both launched Warner TV in France, replacing Syfy which became a SFR exclusive.[1]
The channel's catalogue, for its entirety, is sourced from the library of Warner Bros., which licensed its name to the channel until 2019.
In March 2015, the Filipino feed separated from the Southeast Asian Warner TV channel to air a different programming schedule, including selected programming from truTV.[2]
On April 22, 2020, the French version launched in Sub-Saharan Africa in StarTimes.
On May 2, 2020, Warner TV began broadcasting the Adult Swim programming block in Latin America and Brazil, which initially included Rick and Morty, Final Space, Robot Chicken, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force.[3][4][5] On May 3, 2021, Metalocalypse and The Shivering Truth were added to the Adult Swim programming block.[6] On November 8, 2021, Adult Swim was pulled from Warner TV's lineup.
On June 14, 2021, it was announced that the TNT channels in Germany would be rebranded into Warner TV from September 25, 2021.[7]
On July 8, 2021, it was announced that TNT in Poland and Romania would rebrand into Warner TV from October 23, 2021.[8][9]
In October 2022, it was announced that a Warner TV channel would be launched in Italy by October 30 of the same year. However unlike other Warner TV channels, this one will be operating as a free to air channel on Italian DTT.[10]
On February 27, 2023 it was announced that TNT in Spain would be rebranded as Warner TV on April 14, 2023.[11]
