“Well, it’s been a great 18 and a half years, but my job was recently cut in a corporate restructuring, which means tomorrow is my last day at TCM“, TCM Underground programmer Millie de Chirico announced today, which of course is three days before Christmas.

TCM is part of Discovery of Warner Bros., which recently laid off people en masse. CNN announced major layoffs at the end of last month which saw the departure of important personalities such as Chris Clizza, Martin Savidge and Ana Cabrera. Nancy Daniels, who oversaw the Turner Networks and a number of Discovery channels, and Jane Latman, the HGTV veteran who was also in charge of Food Network were among the many WBD executive departures this month.

De Chirico programmed TCM Underground for 15 years. She also hosted the companion YouTube series TCM Slumberground and was part of the popular TCM Classic Film Festival.

Billed as a “late-night movie franchise that showcases the best of classic cult films and hard-to-find films, from experimental shorts to offbeat comedies,” TCM Underground airs Saturday through Sunday.

De Chirico thanked his supporters today online.

“Very grateful to everyone who has supported my programming work over the years, including @TCMUnderground. Means a lot!” she wrote, before noting, “I’ll always be here laughing really hard on our movie podcast, @ISawPod.”
