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 shows, 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, sharing many facilities with the larger network.
