Thanks for this. Hopefully all the goodwill WB is enjoying from Barbie's success trickles down to TCM.ziggy6708a wrote: ↑August 7th, 2023, 12:03 pm What's going on at TCM?

Well we now have some idea how much money TCM spends on programming (i.e., acquiring rights for broadcast) vs. what it takes in from cable/satellite companies in revenue. It's not a whole lot, comparatively. They've been using TCM as a predictable profit center.ziggy6708a wrote: ↑August 7th, 2023, 12:03 pm What's going on at TCM?
