It was 20 years ago today that me, and a small group of movie lovers, TV non-conformists, brilliant designers, producers, writers and artists all joined together to launch TCM and helped bring Ted Turner's dream for a movie channel to life.
Thanks to everyone who shares a part of its history. Bill Burke, Shannon Davis, Cindy Argendeli, Wayne Johnson, Bill Cosby, Robert Osborne, Kathryn Evans, along with a stellar management team and staff. Special thanks to the many stars, celebrities, actors, hosts, writers, producers, editors, film researchers and historians, motion graphics designers, voice-talent, composers, musicians and of course, the viewers and fans. They all deserve much thanks for helping shape TCM into a "must have" channel that's still true to its mission and brand essence for two incredible decades.
Happy 20th Birthday TCM!
