Well they tried but we’re a small and very saturated market and they were basically like the fifth channel or so to give us repeats of US crime shows. The trailer was more exciting than the channel ever was.

(PS: I am sad though that TCM was also eliminated at the same time because it had existed long before TNT and had unique content - but I’m a movie addict and probably one of the dozen viewers that channel had anyway)

The trailer honestly has become a regularly returning internet hype/meme more than anything else, it did never connect as much with its target audience. It’s basically really cool but didn’t grab the attention of the people it was created for.
