Turner Classic Movies is now the official home of the Looney Tunes library.
TCM will add classic Looney Tunes cartoon shorts to its monthly programming lineup in February, supported by Bugs Bunny’s TCM Star of the Month designation.
45 classic Bugs Bunny cartoons will air during a week-long tribute in February that highlights the character’s impact on generations of filmmakers, animators, and fans.
“TCM is excited to become the ongoing television home of the Looney Tunes library,” said Charlie Tabesh, SVP, Programming and Content Strategy at Turner Classic Movies. “By making TCM an ongoing home for this iconic library, we’re able to present these cartoons with the care and they deserve, alongside the classic films they helped influence.”
TCM’s February lineup will also include a selection of “feature films that complement the animated shorts, offering viewers broader cinematic context and reinforcing TCM’s tradition of thoughtful, historically grounded programming”.
After February, Looney Tunes shorts will continue to be programmed on TCM on an ongoing basis.
