Now I'm missing cable TV: Natalie Wood on TCM this month

I've had few regrets since we cut the cord and looked to the internet and old-fashioned broadcasts for all our family's TV-watching.  

The one cable channel I really miss is Turner Classic Movies.  The other day, watching a TV with no sound at the gym, I was captivated by the clips and photos in this TCM tribute to their "Star of the Month" Natalie Wood. Here's the video (with audio) of Robert Redford reminiscing about his high school classmate and frequent co-star.

By the way, TCM has a great website... ample background information on the movies and stars, a lot of community elements, and many ways to dive deeper into the films they feature.  They are doing far more than pumping out a feed of all the films they own.  They're curating a vast library of cultural treasures and presenting them in fresh and compelling ways.

I wish I could tell Comcast to give me just TCM (and maybe a couple other channels too).
