TCM Imports

TCM Imports is a weekly late-night programming block showcasing international cinema airing on Turner Classic Movies (TCM). Originally broadcast on Friday nights at 2AM Eastern Time Zone (ET), the block was moved to late Saturday nights. It currently airs on Sunday nights at 2AM ET. However, the block is suspended twice every year for TCM's seasonal programming blocks, 31 Days of Oscar and Summer Under the Stars. 
The block was first hosted by Ben Mankiewicz, who began hosting in 2013. In March 2019, Alicia Malone became the current host.
In 1996, the original bumper intro was designed by the animation studio Cuppa Coffee Studios, which featured several stop-motion animated men rolling a giant globe brandishing the programming logo. During the 2010s, the logo design studio Hool & Co. designed a new bumper, which featured a customary countdown meant to highlight several international film movements. In September 2021, Sibling Rivalry, a New York City-based independent creative agency, designed the latest on-screen bumper intro for the block.
