So Turner Classic Movies has gone and changed its name to TCM Movies and have also got a brand new logo and on-air look (adopted from Spain) so looks like an international rebrand is on course for the channel?

Does watching TCM Movies require a PIN number, or do I have to get money from the ATM machine, so I can watch it on my LCD display.

Isn't that replicating the idiocy of 'TSB Bank' Rolling Eyes

Seemingly it doesn't but there's no HD version on Sky anymore.

Also I like how they modernised the TCM logo by taking the letters out of the box and restyling them a little to keep the channel's image fresh but still staying true to the brand's 25-year history

Well, quite.

I will always consider people who say things like "ATM Machine" or "PIN Number" to be utterly cretinous.

Many registered company names nowadays have "orphan initials", so "TSB Bank" isn't a tautology at all. The present-day legal company name does not contain the full-form "Trustees Savings Bank" legacy name, it's literally just "TSB Bank plc" (or similar), so doesn't contain "Bank Bank" at all.

Unless you actually do, in which case I apologise profusely.

It's very Department of Redundancy Department. But I do like the logo.
