'''Tokki Network''' (often called '''Tokki Network Channel''' to avoid confusion with the [[Tokki]] broadcast network; abbreviated '''TNC''') is a Sierran multinational commercial cable and satellite company owned by [[Tokki Television]], a division of [[Tokki Media Holdings]]. Tokki Network was launched on July 21, 1989, as Tokki's first foray into pay television. Initially just an outlet for Tokki's archive of television and licensed shows (as well as one original production), TNC today focuses on original programming, including adult animation and a children's programming block, supplementing it's lineup with Tokki re-runs and acquired programming from other producers across the Pacific. TNC's success inspired several other Tokki pay channels, including [[Tokki Business]], [[Tokki Music]], and [[Tokki 24]]. TNC is based in [[Tokki Center]] in [[Providencia, Gold Coast|Providencia]], [[Gold Coast]], sharing many facilities with the larger network.

== History ==

===Background ===
For more than 50 years, Tokki had served as one of the big names in broadcasting. Launching as a radio network in 1930, Tokki would soon enter the television market, where it would rise to become a major force in the [[Kingdom of Sierra]]. With the rise of cable came the rise of cable networks, with their own unique programming. Tokki had been interested in this new avenue for broadcasting for a couple of years, with many stations being added to cable systems. It wasn't until 1987 that Tokki began discussing a cable only channel. Tentatively titled ''Tokki Channel'', it would have been an archive of Tokki's networked programming.

Tokki Network's initial lineup began with the following programs:
*''{{W|Mobile Suit Gundam}}'' (Japan, [[Asahi National Network]], English dub by [[ITC Entertainment]])<!--Did get syndicated in the Kingdom, but not a major success, though the movie trilogy was dubbed and released-->
*''{{W|Kamen Rider (1971 TV series)|Kamen Rider}}'' (Japan, ANN, English sub)<!--First appearance of the show on Sierra Television-->
*''{{W|Daemyeong}}'' (Korea, [[Korean Broadcasting System]], English sub)<!--A historical drama -->
* ''[[Captain Sierra (Television series)|Captain Sierra]]'' (Sierra, [[Sierran Broadcasting Company]]/[[Tokki]])<!--Has it's own subpage-->
*''Miura Anjin: English Samurai'' (Sierra, Tokki)<!--Something like the 1980 Shogun miniseries-->
*''Year of the Rabbit: Dae-sung's Journey'' (Sierra, TNC original)<!--Docudrama about the foundation of Tokki-->
*''Record of the Three Kingdoms'' (Hong Kong, TVB, English sub)<!--Romance of the Three Kingdoms-->

==Programming==
Tokki Network airs a variety of programming originating from across the pacific. These include dramas, comedies, and animation. Original programs currently seen on TNC include:

===Children's programming===
