rewrite Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Does NBC own the USA Channel or somethin', lavender? As a matter of fact, yes. Or rather, they're both owned by Comcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeem Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I suppose NBC will air it on Christmas Eve as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCliffe Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Can't deal with watching this classic loaded down with commercials. I own a BR copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll watch my DVD of the movie, thanks anyway. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Can't deal with watching this classic loaded down with commercials. I own a BR copy. Nothing like having Stewart's travails interrupted by a commercial for reverse mortgages. I wonder whether the old building and loan handled reverse mortgages.

markfp2 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I'm really spoiled. Friday night, I went on an hour "road trip" with movie friends to see an absolutely georgeous 35mm print of IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE at the Capitol Theater in Rome New York. That's the best way to see it. Not only without commercials but surrounded by a couple of hundred other folks who appreciate the film and also wanted to see it on the big screen. Interestingly, unlike seeing any recent film at a multiplex, I didn't notice a single person yapping on their cell phone during the movie. Now that Comcast is sharing the film between NBC and USA, that probably means they've renegotiated NBC's exclusive contract and we'll never see TCM get a shot at getting it.

Hilarious----The comic strip "Pearls Before Swine" dealt with one of it's characters trying to cancel his cable service. The NAME of the cable service? The cartoonist called it "BOMBAST CABLE SERVICE" Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
