Is TCM publicly traded?

It's part of the AT&T leviathan. Ted Turner sold it to Time-Warner years ago along with his other networks and that got swallowed by AT&T.

TCM is starting to show signs of drifting away from its stated mission of showing Classic Movies. Some might call it increasing the variety or diversity, but mostly its carving out slices of viewing time to show movies and documentaries produced by special interest groups that are suddenly considered "classics" by a new group of decision makers.

I almost always check what's on TCM, and made a comment to my wife that "TCM is turning itself into TOM", Turner Obscure Movies.

There's a reason why this stuff that is showing up more and more on the channel was never considered a classic before, and it's not the reason the new deciders think it is. Just hope TCM doesn't go the way of AMC.
