WB Channel (short for Warner Bros.) was an Indian pay television channel. It was launched on 15 March 2009 by AT&T's WarnerMedia (then TimeWarner) through its international division exclusively for the Indian subcontinent.[1] The channel featured a mix of Hollywood films and (formerly) television dramas from the Warner Bros. Vault.

The channel was shut down on 15 December 2020 a little after midnight interrupting the airing of the Area 51 movie. The channel was closed along with HBO India.[2]
