Sony Movie Channel is an American television channel that was launched on October 1, 2010. Owned by the Sony Pictures Television subsidiary of Sony Corporation, its programming consists entirely of films from the Sony Pictures Entertainment library (including content from Columbia Pictures, TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Classics among others), which are broadcast unedited, and remastered in 1080i high definition. It is the only television channel in the United States run by Sony Corporation that is wholly owned by the company.
A program block on the channel is "Killer Mandays", a double feature of horror films on Monday nights. From November 6–November 12, 2011 the channel aired a week-long salute to Bollywood films.
Sony Movie Channel is available nationally on DirecTV and Dish Network, and regionally on AT&T U-Verse and Verizon FiOS. DirecTV and Dish Network also offer "Sony Movie Channel Everywhere", which allows viewers to watch its movies through its website for no additional cost. The channel is also available through streaming for owners of the Sony Network Media Player and on Redbox Instant By Verizon for paying subscribers.
Sony Movie Channel is also available on Sony's PlayStation Vue platform included with the Elite and Ultra plans.
On May 31, 2012, Hollywood Suite announced it would re-brand its high-definition channel Hollywood Festival as a Canadian version of Sony Movie Channel on September 4, 2012 as part of a new licensing arrangement with Sony Pictures. The channel was discontinued on November 3, 2015, as part of the re-formatting of Hollywood Suite's channels to use decade-based formats.
