Comment on What's going on at TCM? Insiders detail the fight to protect the network — and why it matters
kingmongoose7877@lemmy.film 1 year agoAs I commented in another thread regarding TCM, how much could this channel cost? Is their audience 23 people nationwide? The library itself is now owned by WBD, barring the eternal legal c🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬k that is IP, so that can’t be too big of an issue. The staff, including the presenters and writers (who probably get scale), has to be maybe 20-50 people. Sorry for veering into rant territory but I just can’t understand the “logic.”

If you read the article, it estimates running costs at around $20 million per year, and profit at $200 million. I wasn’t kidding when I said “ten times”.
