Behind-the-scenes drama threatens TCM; will the classic-film network survive?
Is it going to be a slow fade-out for Turner Classic Movies?
For a little while, after the 2022 merger that birthed Warner Bros. Discovery, the channel seemed to escape the new conglomerate’s attention. Perhaps the ludicrously overpaid geniuses running Warner were too busy making other bad decisions, like shelving “Batgirl,” not shelving “The Flash,” diluting the still-potent brand of HBO, and steering the once-stable CNN straight into the rapids.
But then they finally noticed TCM.
Unfortunately.
