    Is TCM in trouble?

    Remember the days when they released dvds under the TCM label from Universal and Sony and Bob Osborne had the product in his hands and showed it on camera? How about rare films that the studios have not released make a deal to brand them TCM only releases

    TCM was a BIG goof by him he could have easily offered maybe 20 of the 90 staff to buyouts based on some were retirement age - still think he might not last in the job - if you listen to Mr F podcasts his division is profitable and we know TCM is- he could lower WB debt by selling off CNN etc...

    Is TCM in trouble?

    Bob Osborne was TCM - in the few short years since we lost him TCM had to hire 4 or more hosts to take his place - they could easily make it with Ben and Eddie Mueller - I suggested to Mr Tabesh they run more of Bob's Private Screenings which would be more valuable since most of those...

    Is TCM in trouble?

    "By studio metrics, that’s a modest investment: I’m told the annual budget averages out to less than $45 million to cover everything from licensing fees to the festival and the salaries of the team. That’s a fraction of the production and marketing budget for “The Flash,” only this product...

    He refuses to make the hard choices cutting 70 staffers was desperation - buy selling CNN they will pay down debt by 5 billion but thats too smart ----- FOX stiffed us too by selling their film division to Disney and locking all those films up

    Yes but add in the WIne Club the Cruises the books the festival too but the channel has sunk with the loss of Bob Osborne too most of the films in the library are all owned by WB - but again Zazlav will not last too much longer if Hollywood turns against him they all gave him a chance and so far...
