TCM movie channel RIP...
Couldn't see a thread on this, so please remove of there is one....

TCM closes Thursday apparently. Very sad loss for those that don't want to shell out for Sky's rubbish. Not that many non Sky film channels left.

Still at least we have Talking Pictures and VM will no doubt be discounting our bills accordingly...

A very poor decision by the owners of TCM.

Looking at Quest 14 days ahead on the EPG guide they hardly have any films on there so they could just be paying lip service.

I somehow don't think so , It was Warner Bros Discovery decision after a Review of their UK operations.

Re: TCM movie channel RIP...
It does seem rather surprising that this channel has closed given that it is the only classic film channel for US movies.

And people may remember the trailers in the second half of the 1990s during the analogue cable TV era telling us that TNT (the original name for TCM) and Cartoon Network were available 24/7 on cable but they never appeared 24/7 on Cable & Wireless.

TNT was never a dedicated movie channel, used to love it, WcW and The Dukes of Hazard were what I watched it for, I think it was cartoon network that changed into a porn channel at some point in the day, remember watching it with my young son and it just switched without warning

That's disgraceful. Was it encrypted?

Is that the 'movie' channel that isn't movies? Just made for tv wholesome US cable crap? Should be done under the trade descriptions act.

Hopefully another channel can pick up TCMs output, preferably not Sky.
