for Turner Classic Movies and announced moves to help bolster the channel, after incurring the wrath of film fans with planned cuts.
Charles Tabesh, TCM’s senior vice president of programming who has guided the channel for 25 years, has agreed to stay on, a Warner Bros. Discovery representative said Wednesday. Tabesh was slated to exit along with other top TCM management as part of cost-cutting moves across the Warner Bros. Discovery’s TV channels as the company looks for ways to reduce its debt.
The network will now report directly to Warner Bros. Pictures Group co-heads Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy. The move is an attempt to protect the channel and get the operation more support from Hollywood’s film community. “We have taken steps to ensure that we stay true to the mission of the network — bringing more titles to the air, driving content investment, and preserving and protecting the culture of cinema,” the Warner Bros. Discovery representative said in a statement.
As part of that effort, the company is enlisting the services of three film directors — Steven Spielberg, Paul Thomas Anderson and Martin Scorsese — who have long championed the channel. The company representative said the trio will influence the curation and scheduling of films for TCM, which has long specialized in presenting and preserving titles that go back to the silent era.
