The staff behind Turner Classic Movies has been gutted, which will have enormous consequences for cinema as an art form.
As June 20, 2023, began winding down, the world of movies was hit by devastating news. The cable channel Turner Classic Movies, which is now owned by WarnerDiscovery had been hit with extensive layoffs. These layoffs included the vice president of studio production Anne Wilson, senior vice president of programming and content strategy Charles Tabesh, and TCM Enterprise vice president Genevieve McGillicuddy.
Best of all, Turner Classic Movies was a place where movies of all kinds could find a home. TCM was dedicated to a wide array of classic cinema, from formative pieces of American filmmaking to notable pieces of world cinema that you couldn't find easily on other cable channels. However, the introduction of the TCM Underground night block in 2006 suddenly opened up a whole new area of filmmaking for this network to emphasize.
Zaslav showed up to the 2023 iteration of the Turner Classic Movies film festival to chat it up with the likes of Steven Spielberg and Paul Thomas Anderson about classic movies. Of course, it takes more than just expensive houses and film festival appearances to make one a supporter of cinema as an art form. For one thing, it helps to be producing new films, not shelving them as Zaslav’s regime did with Batgirl.
Why Is Preserving TCM So Important? Thankfully, the news of Zaslav and his cronies gutting Turner Classic Movies didn’t fly under the radar. The grave impact of this development inspired a trio of iconic filmmakers to schedule a call with Zaslav to talk about Turner Classic Movies just 24 hours after the news broke.
