A few days ago, Bell announced that CraveTV had merged with The Movie Network, with both services being renamed Crave. This ends the TMN: The Movie Network era, which began in 1993.
Prior to being re-branded The Movie Network, the pay-tv channel was known as First Choice. But before that, it had the cumbersome moniker First Choice-Superchannel, and originally, it launched as First Choice.
So if you're following along at home, this station has been named:
- First Choice
- First Choice-Superchannel
- First Choice
- TMN: The Movie Network
- Crave
Thanks to Retrontario, we can hop in a time machine and enjoy these old intros. Here's the First Choice feature presentation opening from back in 1983.
Here's the old First Choice-Superchannel feature presentation fanfare.
Farewell, TMN.
