Why is TCM suddenly not showing certain movies??!


Question:

Why is TCM suddenly not showing certain movies??

Very recently, TCM advertised the airing of The African Queen. When the airing day arrived, something else was shown instead. Then just last week, The Barefoot Contessa was scheduled, and even advertised right up to the same day..then another movie was shown in its place. I understand that stations have the right to change scheduled broadcasts without notice, but I do find it mysterious that in both instances both movies that did NOT air were those of Humphrey Bogart. Does anyone know what's going on?..AND why is it so hard to get copies of The African Queen on DVD????????????
I love TCM but since this has happened, I'm starting to wonder if it truly is a quality station or not.


Answers:

Having copies of both of those movies I can see how this might upset you. They are good movies. Perhaps it is just coincidence, or perhaps, they are trying to build a demand for those movies since they sell those movies from their stores. I am not willing to speculate but I will say that those are movies that demand primetime playing. Perhaps they were not scheduled when it would be cost effective to air them. After all they have to pay royalties for those films.
