Speaking of TCM Movies, their French counterpart TCM Cinéma is launching the same on-screen look as the UK and Spain versions on 2nd September.
*

Back in 2018, TCM channels in the Middle East and Greece rebranded with this new logo.

Also TCM in Africa was rebranded as an African version of TNT that same year, whilst TCM Asia was closed on the 2nd January this year after more than 24 years on-air. The Nordic version closed in 2017.

And it's worth noting that TCM Movies here in the UK and TCM Cinéma in France both celebrate 20 years on air this year.

The Latin American version was rebranded back in 2015 and with that, the channel started to drift away from showing archived MGM and Warner movies from the 30s and beyond. It began showing series and films from the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

I’m surprised TCM’s never gone free to air. It doesn’t rate particularly well and clearly Sky felt its HD slot could be put to better use. There’s a decent market for old film channels on Freeview that will only eat away further at its ratings if it continues to remain a pay channel.

I don't want to spam this thread, but I've always made it clear how I hated TCM's transformation to the home to showings of Moulin Rouge, Kangaroo Jack and The Exorcist II: The Heretic, and whatever western or documentary tatter they could find. I preferred if I could watch a TCM that had this much variety on [removed] . That website full of illegal, yet high quality and almost ad-free, movies has so much variety. Just watched this on Wednesday.

If we’re splitting hairs, also incorrect. It’s a registered trademark of Lloyds Bank so technically only theirs are called cashpoints. (It’s only after somebody told me this that I noticed other banks avoiding that term like the plague.)

Quote:
The word 'Cashpoint' itself was introduced in 1972 by Lloyds Bank and registered as a trademark in October 1986. Although 'Cashpoint' would be a fitting way to describe such machines generically, it is a trade name that has seeped into the English language for more general use.
