"We are looking at launching an English movie channel by the end of this year. This will be in partnership with Warner Brothers and an announcement will be made in a month," Turner International President (Asia Pacific) Stephen Marcopoto told reporters on the sidelines of a conference in New Delhi.

"Though the timeline has not been fixed yet, we are looking at launching the channel early this year," Turner International India Managing Director Ashutosh Mishra said.

Asked if there would be a conflict of interest as the company already has an English language cinema channel, Marcopoto said, "Both the channels will be placed differently.

While HBO is more of a blockbuster channel, the new channel will feature Hollywood films." India is the largest market for Turner International in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region contributing about 25 per cent to the APAC revenues, he said.

Turner already operates channels like CNN, Pogo, Cartoon Network and HBO in India. It has a distribution tie-up with Zee Networks as well.
