Hats off to Turner Classic Movies. Their understated memorial to the events of September 11, 2001, was the best of the lot.

The network invited firemen, police officers, and other first responders of that awful day to come to their studios as guest programmers yesterday and choose their favorite classic movies for airing throughout the day. They shared their memories of the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania.

After church meetings yesterday, I tuned in. It was something.

Turner Classic Movies is a class act.

I hope TCM stays as is, and doesn't sell out the way AMC did.

It's so good to know there are still networks that do this sort of thing reverently and low key but still bring the whole thing together in the way that you dscribed. Like everyone else I know exactly what I was doing and where i was when I first learned the tragic news on that day 10 years ago.

Regarding what Michael says.. I too hope that TCM stays the same. I know from my own experience in broadcasting industry that when a quality companty comes under the hand of a takeover many fine aspects are lost.

Lovely post, Star

Thank you, you guys.

And I share your hopes that the network stays with their format. I like this network better than any other than I have readily available. My TV pretty much stays tuned to TCM.
