I'm confused. Maybe as much as RO.
The only Keaton film shown last night was part of the "Essntials, Jr." series and that was intro'd by Bill Hader. The rest of the films shown, which would have a RO intro, were L&H, Max Linder and Harold Lloyd films.
So how did Buster Keaton even come up?

*" Last night, I got the second warning at 11 pm PT. That was exactly the time it started here."* - 'solarblast'
Are you sure you saw it last night? *Mr. Hulot's Holiday* is showing _tonight_ (Sunday) at 11pm PDT in the traditional "TCM Imports" slot.
I hope you see this message - and the film - in time.

*"I also think that Movies Unlimited is not mentioned there at all."*
No. MoviesUnlimited is mentioned quite prominently in the promo.

*"But consider for a moment it's purpose: a sales-tool To sell DVD movies for MOVIES UNLIMITED. TCM has their name on it in big letters and down below you find in small letters the MU logo. To be fair I think the order should be reversed. It is aimed at those folks who buy very popular titles. Titles that are easily available almost anywhere else."*
And where in the promo does it claim to be anything else than a catalogue selling DVDs? The whole piece is built around the idea of collecting DVDs and building one's own library.

And I would pull the account of the newly registered account of "AnthonyWeiner". It obviously isn't a serious membership.
And isn't there a "rule" in CoC against choosing proper names of living individuals for account names?
The sock puppets are multiplying like crazy this week.

I think this entire thread should be moved over to the TNT Message Boards.

*"I have only been watching since last summer and have the 2011 Movie Guide which lists the thousands of titles that you have for sale. Do you not also have these titles in your archives?"* - kuklapolitan
First, Cheers Burr Tillstrom!
Second, the TCM Video catalogue is just that - a catalogue of videos for sale from MoviesUnlimited, a second-hand party which created that book specifically for the TCM viewer/video shopper. It is not a listing of all the films TCM owns or controls or can schedule for showing on the channel in any given month.
The films available for showing on TCM over a period of six months is a MUCH smaller number than what you find in the TCM Video Catalogue.

Others have written about this idea before. A search of the Message Board archives might turn up one or two of those threads.
But, as a channel that is not advertising-supported, it really isn't an option - unless you are ready to pay a very steep subscription fee to watch TCM on your computer - like $20.00 a month or more.
Because TCM's revenue stream is based almost completely on subscription fees from cable and satellite providers, offering an alternative method to watching TCM could disrupt the stability of those fees. Many providers could move TCM to more expensive tiers of service or discard TCM from their channel line-ups completely because the channel is now available on-line. It need not be offered in so many homes. This would would reduce the total number of homes that receive TCM and having the effect of reducing the total revenue the channel earns each month.
Plus negotiating "streaming rights" for all those films would be a nearly Herculean task. Getting the cable TV rights is often daunting in their own right.
You also might want to do a Google Search (Or Google News Search) on Turner Networks endeavor to offer some of their channels in a streaming format through Comcast Cable Systems. TCM was not included in this service.

No.
In a 300+ universe of cable television channels, there are multiple oulets on which such programming would be a better fit. It would be difficult to justify showing multi-part dramatic series from commercial television on TCM. Nor can I think of any context that could make them attractive additions to the TCM line-up.

TCM has in the past, I believe, shown *The Longest Day* on June 6th. The film has definitely been shown on TCM. (They have also shown "Pearl Harbor" films on December 7th.) But the anniversary of D-Day comes so soon after Memorial Day when TCM presents military films all weekend-long every year. Therefore, some years TCM doesn't acknowledge the invasion at Normandy.
If, as 'wouldbestar' has written, AMC has shown the film recently, then it is likely that channel has the television lease on the film and it wouldn't be available to TCM anyway.
But it is a great film to watch today - or any day.

*"I said I was using generalities."* - gatester
But doing so in the manner you did only sows confusion - even if you explain yourself hours or days later. Better to not write using generalities (and imprecise pronouns) at all.
No one here knows what you are thinking - only what you are writing.

*"I didn't even know we had those programs while Jeff Davis was alive."* - VX
I guess that is what passes for "civics" on CNBC.
"It had nothing to do with slavery...at another time and in another form. The 10th amendment of the Constitution states such. http://www.cnbc.com/id/43268037"
I do not understand 21st Century secessionists who take inspiration from the idle rich.

It's time for you to settle down. You've been treading a very fine line with some very poor behavior in this thread and in others in these Forums.
Members here have tried to explain to you that your assertion that TCM has "colorized" any of the the films they show is wrong. They are not even responsible for the restorations of the films they show. The films studios themselves do this work.
You need to watch your use of pronouns. When you wrote "You Are Too Stupid To Notice", that is read as being directed to the person to which you are replying - whether that is what you intended or not. And calling your attention to your poor choice of words is not being impolite.
So knock it off with the name calling and take the chip off your shoulder. You've gone out of your way to pick a fight with persons who were trying to be helpful. It seems you have problems with the picture quality of TCM on your television - both in terms of the color and the sharpness of picture. As people here have pointed out, this appears to be an issue only in your home. You should address these problems with your cable system. Continually ranting about it in the TCM Message Boards is foolhardy as TCM is not responsible for such problems.
Your disgruntled manner is poor way to introduce yourself around here. It took less than a week for you to alienate yourself with some of the friendliest people that congregate here. And I can't say that I blame them for the reception they have given you.
You might want to start over and leave your baggage from experiences on other websites behind.
