From Entertainment Weekly:
JUL 11 2011 05:53 PM ET Robert Osborne to take medical leave from Turner Classic Movies by Shaunna Murphy Fans of Turner Classic Movie marathons will soon be facing a three-month void as the channel's long-time host, Robert Osborne, is planning a leave of absence. TCM said in a statement Monday [11 Jul] that Osborne will undergo minor surgery, without specifying a particular ailment. Osborne has held his hosting tenure since 1994, and will take a vacation after his surgery. Fans of the iconic host were reminded that Osborne recently renewed his contract with the channel, so he will definitely return when the three months are up. In the meantime, viewers can look forward to guest hosts like Tippi Hedren, Jane Powell, and Robert Wagner to fill the void. TCM will also air pre-recorded segments with Osborne, including his weekly showings of must-see films, The Essentials. <http://wp.me/p16N0n-aTD> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
