A Face in the Crowd Thursday July 5 on TCM

Spike Lee is the guest programmer on TCM Thursday, July 5 and he has chosen 'A Face in the Crowd' as one of his picks.  But it is the last of his film picks and therefore not airing until 1:45am (basically, early morning July 6).

hi. Thanks for reporting on

hi. Thanks for reporting on the DirecTV channels! As well as the other options that local users have for local TV access. 

I am suprised that timewarner and uverse havnt done anything to simplify its channel line with the HD channels.. Very cumbersome to remember all of those options!

Thanks!

Thanks for the WRAL2 mention, Brooke!
