TNT Sports is the brand name for sports television channels, broadcast divisions, programming, and other media around the world that are owned and operated byWarner Bros. Discovery (WBD). The name originates from the American cable television channelTNT.
The brand was first used in the 1980s when then-ownerTurner Broadcasting System initially used separate TNT Sports and TBS Sports brands for its separate American channels TNT andTBS, respectively, before introducing a unifiedTurner Sports brand in 1995. Turner Broadcasting merged into Time Warner in 1996, which in turn was acquired byAT&T in 2018 (which would becomeWarnerMedia). Turner Sports was then put into a new division known as WarnerMedia News & Sports.[1] In 2017, the company launched theTNT Sports channel in Argentina, then standardized the rest of its existing Latin American sports channels into the TNT Sports brand in 2021.
In 2022, WBD was formed with thespin-off of WarnerMedia by AT&T, and its merger withDiscovery, Inc. Turner Sports was then renamed as Warner Bros. Discovery Sports after its merger with the sports divisions for WarnerMedia and Discovery, with the brand also being used for the division managing Discovery's existing European and international sports assets such asEurosport,Golf Digest, andGlobal Cycling Network. In 2024, WBD officially rebranded the entirety of the division as TNT Sports.[2]
