Background
The Movie Network was a Canadian English-language premium movie channel. It was launched on February 1, 1983 as First Choice, and re-branded to the current moniker in 1993. On September 1, 1988, the channel and Western International Communications launched Family Channel, with WIC acquired by Corus Entertainment in 2000, and TMN's parent company Astral Media buying Corus' interest in 2001, making them sister stations.
On July 5, 2013, TMN's parent company Astral Media was acquired by Bell Media. In 2014, former sister channel Family and its sister networks was acquired by DHX Media after a year of being in a blind trust by Pierre Bolvin. The channel expanded into Western Canada on March 1, 2016, replacing Corus-owned Movie Central. The channel was replaced by a new service called Crave on November 1, 2018, named after the streaming service of the same name.
1st Logo (2000-2008)
_(Credit_-_AgedCGI).png)
Logo: In a mystical setting, a woman touches a big blanket, then we zoom out to a big sky, where the blankets fall down, and reveal the Movie Network logo. The logo then flips to reveal the Astral Media logo.
FX/SFX: A mix of CGI and Live-Action done by 3 Ring Circus.
Music/Sounds: A beautiful mystical music piece sampling "Ailein Duinn".
Availability: Extinct. Check your old tapes.
2nd logo (2008-October 31, 2018)

.png)
Logo: We see the same logo as before, but is smaller and on a black background. An even smaller blue chip, slanted, appears above, and the bigger one fades out. The chips go down, until one that is not slanted appears and glows. The words “FEATURE PRESENTATION” appear in all caps and in blue.
Trivia: This variant is reused on its sister network but with different colors. The only exceptions were MExcess which used different animation, MFun! which used a white background (with the same animation intact), and Mpix which used a different concept.
Variants:
- An in-credit version exists.
- At the end of broadcasts of films, we see the signature film chip zoom out very rapidly. Then it becomes the logo.
FX/SFX: The CGI animation.
Music/Sounds:
- Opening: A weird sound at the start, and an indescribable sound effect with a synthesizer at the end.
- Closing: A four-note harp tune.
Availability: Extinct. Check your old tapes.
