It goes way beyond TCM giving the old AMC competition. Yes, there were certain titles that Turner owned and that would no longer be leased to them.As I understand it, Cablevision now owns or owns a piece of AMC.
Demograpically it was decided to "dumb down" the station and appeal to a younger, less cinema sophisitcated audience with shorter attention spans. People with shorter attention spans actually prefer commercial interruptions.AMC reports viewership is larger than the old format. Scary, huh?
I just wish they'd change their name to something else. "Jaws 2" is hardly an American Movie Classic.
