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.
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.
The original format of the network consisted of longer blocks of made-for-television movies with limited commercial interruptions, airing twice a day. As the network grew and as broadcast networks have ceased producing made-for-TV movies, more commercial breaks were added during its film content; gradually, the network also added theatrical film releases to its schedule. The network airs different movies each day, although some are repeated into the next broadcast day. The channel was rebranded as LMN in 2006, before reverting to using the full name in mid-2009 as part of Lifetime's attempt to broaden its brand. In 2011, the network had switched back to branding as just LMN.
