TLC Network

TLC Network is is an American cable TV network that carries a variety of informational and reality-based programming. TLC is owned by Discovery Communications, the same company that operates the Discovery Channel.

The letters "TLC" come from the original name "The Learning Channel," a moniker which has fallen by the wayside as the network's programming is not as directly educational as it was in the past.

TLC imports a significant amount of programming material from the BBC (such as Junkyard Wars), and also produces American versions of some shows.
