Perhaps not, but it's been exhibiting some tarnish in the last couple or so years. As their licences for many titles have expired, their inventory has shrunk, their rotations have become shorter and they've filled in with some schlocky programming I wouldn't have expected ten years ago. There have also been a few instances of 'scope films shown in 1.33 pan-and-scan.
No way to tell what the future holds. AMC, in its early days, was just as good, but that's not been the case for some years now.

I remember when they aired AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY as part of Spy Spoofs marathon back in the Autumn of 2003, and people feared the coming of Adam Sandler movies. It is now 2020 and that has not happened yet.

AMC has some great TV shows under its belt, so I guess they are happy they changed their lineup now.
TCM still has great stuff, but now with streaming services popping up all over, every studio wants to hoard their own stuff for their own streaming service or sell it out to the highest bidders.

Oh god I hope not. Granted, what they're kind of doing now is between showings they have a lot of TCM advertisements or discussions. Maybe include a coke ad during those segments instead of the movie? |

I clicked "Never" but, to paraphrase a Percy Shelly poem, nothing is constant except change - or:
"Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability."

That's a deal breaker. I don't even like watching my favorite movies anymore with commercials. If I'm channel surfing and find one, and I get trapped in it, first commercial break I'm finding it on Netflix or my own collection and continuing without the ads.
