'''Cine5''' was the first subscription-based television channel in [[Turkey]]. It aired in an encrypted format and primarily broadcast feature-length movies when it was founded on September 20, 1993. Subscribers were required to buy a decoder to watch the channel. The number of subscribers reached over half a million. However, in recent years, it enlarged its program spectrum due to competition from other movie-based channels and removed encryption and the subscription policy on January 16, 2006. On February 15, 2011, the channel was put up for sale<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.worldbulletin.net/?aType=haber&ArticleID=68708 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121211011717/http://www.worldbulletin.net/?aType=haber&ArticleID=68708 |url-status=usurped |archive-date=December 11, 2012 |title=Turkey's Deposit Insurance Fund to sell three media organs |publisher=World Bulletin |date=18 January 2011 |accessdate=24 November 2012}}</ref> and bought by [[Al Jazeera Media Network|Al Jazeera]]<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-249053026/al-jazeera-buy-turkey.html |title=Al-Jazeera to buy Turkey's Cine 5 TV station for 40.5m dollars. |publisher=Access My Library |date=12 February 2011 |accessdate=24 November 2012}}</ref> to launch [[Al Jazeera Türk]], however it’s never happened (except the short-term digital broadcast).
