I really think the pendulum is about to swing back to classic movies, this station in particular. People are discovering these movies for the first time b/c they weren't very accessible even 15-20 years ago. I once heard a story on TCM about Cary Grant not being recognized by a 'celebrity-seeker' on the streets of Hollywood during the 80's. It's b/c there's never been a medium for these movies -- until NOW.
And I did some research on DC's "Little Fugitive (1953)" and found it's been regarded as one of the pioneering works in the "New Wave" movement. Director Abrashkin died from Lou Gehrig's disease at Coney Island during the making of the film.
You gotta love that!
