MovieSphere Gold is an American free-to-air movie television network owned and operated by Lionsgate Worldwide Television Distribution Group and its subsidiary Debmar-Mercury.[3]

Similar to Movies! (though airing more classic films), the network showcases premium films and TV movies ranging from the 1970s to the present day (mostly from Lionsgate's library). Although to comply with FCC guidelines, the network edits out profanity and obscene scenes on films shown, although the network airs on an off-the-clock schedule except when paid programming is shown Thursday through Sunday at 6 a.m. ET.

History

Around July 2025, MovieSphere's Facebook account showed promotions for MovieSphere Gold, an over-the-air television counterpart set to quietly launch on August 1.[2]

In October 2025, the network was added to Frndly TV.[4]

In November 2025, the network was confirmed to be available on DirecTV, Dish Network and Sling Freestream.[3][5] CBS Media Ventures would also handle the national advertising sales.[6] It was also announced that Nielsen would begin measuring both MovieSphere and MovieSphere Gold.[7]

In December 2025, LTN was selected to add the network on its IP video distribution network.[8]

Affiliates

As of November 2025, MovieSphere Gold is available in over 80% of the United States, with the majority being owned TelevisaUnivision and HC2 Holdings.[9][10]
