people HAVE commented a little acidically that in calling itself "Max," the new entity wants to erase all remaining traces of HBO and its "tradition of quality." recent offerings are tending to confirm that.
A recent report on cable streamers in The Ankler shows that people are still opting in the majority for HBO content over Discovery crap on Max. It makes sense that Zaslav, who made his money making Discovery what it is would want to downplay HBO, which shows everything Discovery isn't.
I wouldn't have thought so. and they're about 90% of what I watch. I DID pay attention to the whole flap over TCM getting fucked by that monster Zaslav. but it looks like a few random movie directors got plenty pissed off, and it seems he's backed off. at least for now. that "random" was a little joke. I DO get a little depressed at all the wines and cruises and whatnot, but if they're necessary revenue sources, fuck it.
jeez...do Criterion and TCM count?
WBD is trying to kill TCM by firing most of their staff. It's just another "tile" on Max.
I hope TCM will stay TCM somehow.
Yes!
okay, I'm gonna cry uncle...for which, what or whom are WBD and TCM acronyms?
WBD - Warner Brothers/Discovery - the mutant critter created by the conjoining of Warner Brothers and The Discovery Networks.
TCM - Turner Classic Movies
