TCM shake-up

 


Warner Bros. Discovery will reorganize Turner Classic Movies (TCM) following the departure of the network's executive VP and general manager, Pola Changnon.

 Changnon has been in her current role since 2020, and has been with Warner Bros. for 25 years.

Current Adult Swim and Cartoon Network president Michael Ouweleen will take over at TCM, which he previously ran prior to Changnon.

  • As part of the change, TCM will be more fully integrated in with WBD's other US cable networks.
  • Many cinephiles and filmmakers expressed concern over the move, as TCM has become one of the last mainstream outlets for classic film distribution in the US.
  • Directors Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Paul Thomas Anderson met privately with WBD CEO David Zaslav, and released a joint statement reassuring film fans about his ongoing commitment to "TCM and classic cinema."
