This is probably true, but what's also true is that younger people have been less interested in Golden Age films with each passing generation. Unless I'm mistaken, it was a very small percentage even from the first generation of "rerun" viewers, the baby boomers. Of course that's really no...
On Kodi at home, I have Classic Film and Modern Film playlists. The idea of combining them would break my brain. If that's how TCM is now, then that's how it is. But I didn't know it that way. I guess I'm old. Or just out of the loop.
