Turner Broadcasting System is set to launch a German language version of TNT, Turner Network Television, as part of a move to strengthen its position in the market. TNT has already launched in Spain and just recently in Turkey.
The TNT brand was around in the UK for some time, when it was used for the evening programming on Cartoon Network. The German TNT will be part of the DTH platform Premiere Star and recently took an 8.5% stake in the venture.
