Very OT but at one point the U.K./Irl TNT channel (perhaps all its history, even when it showed wrestling) had the full formal name of “TNT Classic Movies” and that is what it was billed as in at least some newspapers and listings magazines, though I don’t think the “Classic Movies” bit was used on air. It wasn’t on cable in Dublin in that era though, I know rural locations served by the old Irish Multichannel did have it. It evolved into the present TCM, which was originally Turner Classic Movies, which eventually did make a Dublin cable appearance in the NTL era.
There may have been a point when the two (TNT and TCM) co-existed mind you (and TNT became a general entertainment channel) but I think that was fairly brief, in the early digital period, around 1999.
