Rotten local channel....

After running TOSR in early morning timselots Sunday and Monday mornings, they started running the first showing on Saturday nights in a much more sane timeslot. Sometimes they'd shift it back to early Sunday morning if something special aired on Sat. night, but usually 7PM still held.

What are they doing now that the new season is starting? Apparently reducing the showings to ONCE A WEEK, and at an even WORSE Monday morning timeslot.

I can't win.

Another local channel just cut STARTGATE ATLANTIS back to one showing of each episode, and moved it to Sunday nights at midnight.

*sigh*
 
I've missed the first thirty minutes of the episode twice in a row.

I guess we'll see what happens tonight.
 
On the other hand, in the NYC area, the remasters went from a station that showed them at 3-something Monday morning -and later if the NFL Sunday Night game went long, to an indy station that is showing them at 11 pm Sunday nights - with NO chance for delays!

My station did not even air TOSR this weekend-Instead they showed a repeat of 24!
Are you sure TOS-R is still on that station? Where I live it's now airing on a different channel than it was just a few weeks ago.
 
I'm glad I'm in a small market with only one professional sports team, which sold its game rights to a cable sports channel. TOS-R is aired here in its entirety on Saturday nights at 10pm religiously.

Here, once a week is all it ever ran, nearly always at midnight or later (this season, with the station switch, it looks like it's at 11 PM -- at least this week.)

You did win; you just refuse to see it.
 
TOSR wasn't even on any of it's various, haphazardy time slots last night. It was nowhere to be found :rolleyes:

You SUCK donkey butt, WCVB Boston!! :mad: :mad:

How in the world do I "win" when it goes from a pretty regular Sat. nite slot to early in the morning? And from two showings to one?

I suspect it's you that didn't see something...my post. :lol:
 
Our station was supposed to show "Conscience of the King" last Saturday, and it showed up that way in the channel guide (thus my DVR recorded it).

So what did they actually show? Some damned INFOMERCIAL! :mad:
 
Actually, "Conscience of the King" was scheduled to play THIS weekend, one or two days ago.

Last week was "Galileo Seven".
 
Here in Washington, DC, they were supposed to show Star Trek at midnight Saturday night. Instead, we got 60 minutes of "professional" wrestling.
