I was reading from Deadline last night that Martin Scorcese, Steven Spielberg and Jean Paul Anderson were having a emergency meeting with WBD CEO David Zaslav. The meeting was about the current status and future of the TCM channel in the US.

The three directors were meeting with Zaslav over fears that the channel could be hit with major cutbacks while it's under Zaslav's leadership at the studio.

Now in an interesting twist; Zaslav had also mentioned to Deadline that he did not want to see the channel be hit with cutbacks while the studio was under his leadership tenure.

However; Zaslav's performance as CEO has let us see him do the exact opposite when the other parts of the studio are put up for the chop because of the forced reduced expenditure at the studio.

I wonder what was said with this meeting because the channel is regularly watched by two of the major directors while they work on set on their movie productions.

TCM was also the main influence in starting up The Criterion Channel in the online streaming market in the US.

What's your take on this everybody?

Do you think that anything substantial would come from the meeting about TCM at the moment?
