I had used to get TCM as free to air but it suddenly came up that I had to pay for the channel. What criteria are applied to these things?
cable companies = greed. Monopolistic greed.
My bill went up $10 last month and I lost channels. How you say? GREED.....
cable companies reliability? when its windy, or rains, or threats of rain in my area, my picture freezes then goes blue. all for $95 a month, I got a bargain, eh?
that said, for those that do get TCM, enjoy!

For those reading this thread after 5/19/09, TCM seems to do this every year, just before the Indy 500, so stay tuned...
Frank
Right on Frank, I got a copy of Winning - 1969, last yr on the weekend of the 500. However, this year the weekend is all War related stuff, starting on Saturday in the USA. Last year, they did the Indy 500 theme on that Saturday. This year? Its the Tuesday before...oh well, any nuggets are ok with me.
Winning was a cool watch btw, for many reasons of course, but I found hearing Sid Collins & Tom Carnegie refreshing and a blast from the past. Their voices are throughout during the action and it brought back memories, espc of Sid Collins. He was something special!
