Versions of the network are customized for Latin America and the Caribbean, with programming available in English, Spanish or Portuguese. TNT was launched in Europe on September 17, 1993, offering classic films and dramatic programming in seven languages. TNT in Asia Pacific, launched October 6, 1994, provides programming in English, with some programs dubbed or subtitled in Mandarin and Thai.
