Ted Turner bought the film collection years ago, so their overhead is way lower in that respect ... but the rest?<BR/><BR/>That's what bit American Movie Classics (AMC) several years ago. They had pretty much the format that TMC has now ... in fact they pioneered it, TMC copied their format. But eventually, AMC had to go to commercial breaks, etc. ... and their numbers plummeted.<BR/><BR/>One thing that comes to mind is that TMC may actually be eligible for some arts grants through their broadcast of certain films, such as 'silents' and restored classics.<BR/><BR/>More likely, though, is that TMC is subsidized by other members of the Turner family of networks.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952101708880633319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11015021.post-14820975960023026052008-09-01T17:58:00.000-05:002008-09-01T17:58:00.000-05:00Jeff,How does TCM make a profit, or does it?Jeff,<BR/><BR/>How does TCM make a profit, or does it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
