Also CNN as we know it is in trouble. But fingers crossed that TCM stays the same. Hopefully an online petition will help keep it as is if they try tinkering.

Re: Turner Classic Movies
I believe it’s now the only Melville film without an English-friendly release. It doesn’t quite work, but there’s some interesting aspects in play and it’s def still worth seeing for fans

How well does the Watch TCM app function on a Roku device? I've been seriously considering getting cable partly because of this app, but I don't want to if it crashes all the time.

Re: Turner Classic Movies
I wonder if anyone else caught this last night. I was watching the end of The Big Heat last night. When it finished their studio personality, David Karger, came on and spoke a little about the film. Then he mentions Lang and finishes by saying Lang made some of the great early German films, NOSFERATU, Metropolis and M. I had a double take kind of response. I was able to scan back on my cable box. And as sure as shit he indeed said that. Those wraps are recorded. There was no one in the control room or on their set that picked that up!? It’s an unforgivable mistake. I shot TCM a tweet. I have to think that many fans watching did the same outreach to them.

Somewhat old news, but TCM will be part of WarnerMedia's HBO Max platform, set to launch next year.

Re: Turner Classic Movies
That suddenly makes HBO Max worth considering... would be the first time TCM is untethered from a cable service. I just wonder if you can view it live with the intros and all that, or if its just movies on demand.

Re: Turner Classic Movies
I'm guessing you'll be able to watch it live. HBO has been doing live streams for awhile now on places like Amazon and Hulu and I figure any channel associated with the service you can watch that way.

Re: Turner Classic Movies
So if you catch the films in this lineup not available on the channel that leaves king king vs Godzilla as the only box exclusive (plus TCM has a couple non Godzilla films not in the collection)

Comcast/Xfinity moved TCM over to it's sports package apparently. Cut the cord, people.

Re: Turner Classic Movies
I went with the soon-to-be-defunct Playstation Vue option to replace cable earlier this year...and discovered that TCM was an add-on bundled with additional sports channels ("Meet the new boss.."). Judging from the available streaming options, TCM seems to regularly be featured on the next-tier-up from basic, costing an additional $5 a month. I have no problem paying that since it's the "cable" channel I watch the most apart from HBO.flyonthewall2983 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 06, 2019 12:10 pmComcast/Xfinity moved TCM over to it's sports package apparently.

Re: Turner Classic Movies
This may be a long shot. The Summer under the Stars promo that TCM is running is using the song Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes. Does anyone here know who's version it is? There are many. I have scoured you-tube and none seem to match to their version
