LMN (short for Lifetime Movie Network) debuted in 1998 as a second-run outlet for Lifetime’s expanding TV movie catalog. The channel eventually began producing its own movies and TV series, which also make their way to Lifetime proper — as with Lifetime originals like “Lethal Desire” and “To Have and to Kill,” there’s a lot of sharing going on between the consenting channels.
LMN is part of the A+E Networks stable of cable channels, which also includes Lifetime, A&E, HISTORY, FYI, and Vice, as well as the Lifetime Movie Club streaming app. LMN is available in around 47,000 cable-subscribing households in the US.
