WB Channel is a cable and satellite television channel launched by Time Warner and Turner International India Private Limited exclusively for Indian subcontinent.

History
This is the second English entertainment channel launched by Turner International India Private Limited in India after HBO.
- While sharing a name with the former The WB Television Network in the United States, WB in India is a distinct standalone channel (in ownership structure, programming offering and demographic target) unrelated to TheWB.com.[1]
Programming
WB India primarily broadcasts movies but also shows the comedy sitcom Two and a Half Men late nights.
Censorship
All movies and TV series broadcasts are censored to a considerable extent. Swear words are muted out and the subtitle text changed. Most scenes with too much blood or hint of erotica are totally edited out.
