LMN, an initialism for the Lifetime Movie Network, also known as Lifetime Movies,[1] is an American pay television network launched on June 29, 1998 and owned by the Lifetime Entertainment Services subsidiary of A&E Networks, a joint venture between the Disney Entertainment division of The Walt Disney Company and the Hearst Communications.[2] LMN is one of the three flagship networks of LES, alongside namesake Lifetime and LRW.
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. Until they ended their involvement in television films in the early 2000s, the network's earliest programming consisted of movies originally meant for broadcast networks.
As of November 2023[update], LMN is available to approximately 47,000,000 pay television households in the United States-down from its 2013 peak of 85,000,000 households.[3] An Australian version of the channel launched on September 1, 2020 through Foxtel, a subsidiary of News Corp.[4]
