"The Spanish Earth" on TCM

[Sefton]

The 1937 documentary on the Spanish civil war will be shown on TCM July 31 at 2am Pacific time.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029594/
Names such as Ernest Hemingway,John Dos Passos and Lillian Hellman worked on this seldom seen film. There is a DVD from 2000 which seems to be only available as used so this is a good chance to record this documentary.

TCM or local cable snafu?

I was excited to check my recording of the Spanish Earth today...until I played it and saw that the first 17 or so minutes of what should have been the documentary were a frozen image of Gene Kelly from one of TCM's bumpers! (a bumper is a short CM like insert that stations place between programs).
UGH! Did anyone in other parts of the U.S. see this problem or is this a local digital cable muck-up? The second program that I recorded 1932's "The Lost Squadron" came out fine although I suppose I'll have to hunt down a used copy of Spanish Earth...
