The sun sets from cheek to cheek

Happy solstice! spatch and I inaugurated the shortest night by walking out for ice cream and then returning to watch a bunch of music videos. I was infuriated to read before bed that the president of Warner Bros. Discovery cannot tell a hole in the ground from reasons not to dismantle TCM—aside from its importance to film history and preservation or its last sixteen years as a lifeline for me through life-derailing illness, it's a guaranteed moneymaker; people who otherwise couldn't want less from a cable TV package will pay for it. I am aware this is a familiar refrain. I'd rather just be singing to conjure summer in.

I really don't understand the throwing money away thing. We raised my parents' cable level to the more expensive one just to get them TCM. They are gone now, but there must be many more viewers still around, as you say.

My parents are subscribers to their particular cable deal strictly for TCM! Have been for years. I cannot imagine they are outliers (cf. your parents). We have Watch TCM, but that's because we don't have a real TV.
