-
Movie Mania was a 24 hour movie network that catered to fans of the B-Movie genre and was targeted at a male audience. It had a very limited distribution and was limited to certain cable companies, as well as being available via the C-Band 4DTV system, (Galaxy 23, VCN 800).
The channel was organized into rough eight-hour blocks, so the same movie was generally shown three times per day.
Former logoGenres shown on the channel were Premier Theatre, Action Theatre, Sci Fi Station, Comedy Corner, Horror Feature, Classic Cinema and M2 Movie as well as M2 Specials.
Movies ranged from well known, (ex. Night of the Living Dead), to cult (ex. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians) to new movies.
Until October 9, 2006, Movie Mania was known as "B Mania!".
As of June 2007, the network has apparently gone off the air, and the web site is also gone.
