If this needs to be moved to a different thread, please do so.

My question this: didn't the 1980 movie Fame ever get any heavy rotation on (W)TBS and/or TNT after Turner bought out the pre-1986 assets of MGM/UA, which this film is part of?

That is, who might happen to have any promos for the Fame movie on either this station or TNT?

I don’t recall Fame ever airing on TBS or TNT. I have been following these channels since 1988 and would watch any movie that they aired. Never seen Fame until a few years ago for the first time. I may be wrong.

According to my local newspaper listings (The Oregonian), the Fame movie did air on TBS starting in 1987. Before then, Cinemax and HBO, as well as WGN and also my local independent station KPTV 12, aired it back in 1985.

The online listings I use go up to 1987.
