I am trying to find out the date TCM interrupted their schedule for the Shelley Winters Memorial screenings. It had to be sometime between when she died on January 12th and January 27th.
Thanks in advance!

Sometimes I find previous TCM schedule information at the Democratic Underground site. You can go back to 2017. To look at entries before 2017, you have to become a registered member and can search their archive.

I looked at the internet archive to check the TCM website during January, 2006. Unfortunately the archive is only captured a few times per month. The nearest dates it has captured are January 12 and January 25. Wikipedia and IMDB say that Shelley Winters passed on January 14, 2006, so the first day that was captured after that is January 25. The January 25 capture makes no mention of Shelley so they must have been finished with any planned tribute prior to that.
My records for January 2006 are based on the AngelFire capture for the month. It is undetermined as to when the AngelFire capture for the month was made, but I do not see a definite tribute during the month. Perhaps by coincidence or not, the closest thing I see is on Sunday, January 15:
SUNDAY Jan 15 2006-01-15 06:00 AM Green Pastures (1936) 2006-01-15 08:00 AM Patch of Blue, A (1965) shelley winters 2006-01-15 10:00 AM New Orleans (1947) shelley winters 2006-01-15 12:00 PM Facts of Life, The (1960) 2006-01-15 02:00 PM Place in the Sun, A (1951) shelley winters 2006-01-15 04:15 PM All That Heaven Allows (1955) 2006-01-15 06:00 PM Some Came Running (1958) 2006-01-15 08:30 PM Cat Ballou (1965) 2006-01-15 10:15 PM Annie Oakley (1935) 2006-01-16 12:00 AM Mark of Zorro, The (1920) 2006-01-16 02:00 AM Roman Holiday (1953) 2006-01-16 04:00 AM Dodsworth (1936)
Other than this I do not see any other periods that would qualify. Sorry, but this is the best I can do with the available information.

Thanks for the help guys. Much appreciated. I looked everywhere I could last night and saw the same pages from the internet archive. How frustrating that was. SO CLOSE!
This would have been solved within minutes if the old TCM website was still up and running.
Unfortunately in 2006 I wasn't recording every intro. Just the ones that interested me or seemed one off like RO's memorial Intros for Shelley Winters.
I also lost some when a hard drive crashed. I started backing up after that. Had I done that I could figure it out. It would be time consuming but it could be done.

Found it!!! Took some digging but here it is!
Some unmissables on TCM, Monday Jan 23 Cafe Society Jan 2006
*Many of these are part of a Shelley Winters tribute.
6:00 am EST/3:00 am PST **The Naked Spur **(1953)
My review from The Scarecrow Video Movie Guide *The Naked Spur *is a Western in setting and in context–the verdant, rolling landscape of Colorado gives a performance that almost overshadows the work of the human actors—but not in spirit. It’s Greek drama; it’s Shakespeare. It’s a tale of backstabbing greed, with a Maguffin that just won’t shut the hell up (Robert Ryan, as Ben Vandergroat, a bad guy worth $5,000 dead or alive). James Stewart is Howard Kemp, the Tortured Man with a Past, who needs that money to buy back his old ranch and stanch (he thinks) an old wound. Kemp meets up with a failed prospector (Millard Mitchell) and a shady soldier (Ralph Meeker, at his snaky, silky best), who help him capture Vandergroat, along with his hellcat travel companion and frontier masseuse (Janet Leigh). What follows is a peripatetic chess game of manipulation and deceit, with Vandergroat, the rope-bound frontier Iago (placed atop a burro with the other provisions, lest we forget that he’s just a package to be redeemed for cash) making the most trouble without a weapon, but with a sly wink and and a mean whisper. The Naked Spur is one of the great “anti-Westerns.” None of these people is innocent, and the inevitable redemption is hard won and well earned. Directed by Anthony Mann.
1:30 pm EST/10:30 am PST The Young Savages* (1961)John Frankenheimer directed Burt Lancaster and Shelley Winters in a gritty urban drama about a savage group of juvenile delinquents.
3:30 pm EST/12:30 pm PST Lolita* (1962)One of Winters’s most memorable performances, as the naïve widow who thinks she’s a woman of the world. Winters is fearless, and gives the brash, embarrassing Mrs. Haze a sympathetic depth that earns the audience’s pity. Directed by Stanley Kubrick, with a bravura performance by Peter Sellers.
6:15 pm EST/3:15 pm PST Winchester '73* (1950)Another truly great Western. The first of eight classic collaborations between Jimmy Stewart and director Anthony Mann. Stewart broke his everyman mold to portray a man bent on vengeance, a theme he and Mann would visit again and again. Shelley Winters plays, get this, a “dance hall girl” with a heart of gold.
8:00 pm EST/5:00 pm PST **A Patch of Blue **(1965)Shelley Winters walked away with this movie (and an Oscar) for playing the unsympathetic mother of a blind white girl who falls in love with (oops) Sidney Poitier. Wonderful performance from Winters; otherwise a dry polemic.
10:00 pm EST/7:00 pm PST A Place in the Sun* (1951)For many people, the essential Shelley Winters performance. She plays a middle class frump to Elizabeth Taylor’s uppercrust debutante, both vying for Montgomery Clift’s gorgeous heart. Guess who wins? More importantly, guess who loses? Based on Dreiser’s An American Tragedy.
12:15 am EST EST/9:15 pm PST **The Night of the Hunter **(1955)My personal favorite Shelley Winters Movie. Once again she’s a widowed mother whose choice of a new husband proves fatal to her and dangerous to her children. The shot of her final demise si among the most hauntingly beautiful images ever captured on film. A tragically overlooked masterpiece, the only movie directed by Charles Laughton. In my personal top ten.
*Many of these are part of a Shelley Winters tribute.

There is another clue left on the archive of the TCM web site that confirms your date of the 23rd.
The capture made by the Internet Archive dated as January 25 has actually saved the schedule for January 24:
6:00 AM Scalphunters, The (1968) 8:00 AM No More Ladies (1935) 9:30 AM Vanessa, Her Love Story (1935) 10:45 AM Janie (1944) 12:30 PM Date With Judy, A (1948) 2:30 PM Impossible Years, The (1968) 4:30 PM Affairs Of Dobie Gillis, The (1953) 6:00 PM Gidget (1959) 8:00 PM Souls for Sale (1923) 9:45 PM Woman of Paris, A (1923) 11:15 PM Greed (1924) 3:30 AM Souls for Sale (1923) 5:15 AM Festival of Shorts #2 (1998) 6:00 AM Big House, The (1930)
The schedule I have for January, 2006 lists the first film on the 24th as Biography of a Bachelor Girl (1935). You can see above that this has been replaced with another Shelley Winters film, The Scalphunters (1968). The rest of the schedule that day is the same as what I have.
As you point out, if the Archive capture had been made one day prior everything would have been clearly detailed. It is great that you were able to find another source for the information from over 17 years ago!
