WE: Women's Entertainment or WE tv is an American cable television channel which is marketed towards women. It features some original programming, such as non-fiction talk shows, as well as made-for-TV movies, older feature films, and re-runs of TV shows, it also shows art and fashion documentries and reality series. Thematically, the programming is focused on women and women's issues.
The channel showed the popular Australian, Logie Award Winning television series McLeod's Daughters for seasons 1-3. The channel dropped the show in April of 2006. WE has since been under scrutiny and criticized for its decision to cancel their top rated show for less expensive reality television. A major campaign by fans to bring the show to another network in the United States has been in the works.
The channel format in recent years has shifted to reality shows such as "Bridezillas".
It was formerly known as Romance Classics, and is a subsidiary of Rainbow Media Holdings, Inc. Like its sister station, American Movie Classics, it showed commercial free movies. The practice was abandoned when the station became WE: Women's Entertainment.
WE is based in Jericho, New York.
