TMN Encore is a Canadian English language Category A premium cable and satellite television specialty service owned by Bell Media. A sister to The Movie Network, TMN Encore broadcasts classic films.
TMN Encore is carried by various Canadian cable and satellite television providers, including Bell TV, Shaw Direct, Rogers Cable, Vidéotron, EastLink, Shaw, Telus and Cogeco. Similarly to its parent network, TMN Encore previously operated only in provinces west of the Ontario-Manitoba border, with Western Canada served by a similar service run by Movie Central known as Encore Avenue. With the shutdown of both services in 2016, TMN Encore now serves the entirety of Canada.
TMN Encore is also the only private broadcaster financing film preservation in Canada through its sponsorship of the AV Preservation Trust, and National Archives.
The channel was launched on October 1, 1994 as TMN Moviepix; by 1996, its name was shortened to simply Moviepix. By 2001, the channel's name was shortened for the third time to simply Mpix. The channel was originally owned by Astral Communications (later Astral Media).
