I am glad that The 1970's Kojak will be oiening The I Network in Janurary of 2007

I love they added Kojak! Sorry to see Kotter, Monkees and Partridge go though! That stinks.

Hopefully they add more timeslots ... soon ...

It's a shame to me because they have access to three fantastic deals: Universal, Sony and Warner Brothers. Gah ... SO many shows they could air!

I do like their movie stunts ...

Maybe they will more Time Slot's in Feburary of 2007

I want them to add Facts of Life! :(

The Fact's of Life would make a great Edition to The I Network

I like Growing Pains on at 7pm. It's a good time. :)

I want them to add Facts of Life! :(
Don't you own every last episode already??? :lol:

I also like Growings Pains from 6:00 pm until 7:00 pm Central Time on The I Network

I network it similar to Tvland and ABC family when they cant make up their mind. I guess all of those three network couldnt find the viewers to watch it.

TBS has the best network and they dont change their mind as alway. I voted for TBS network.

Thanks for the information. I am looking forward to seeing Kojak again.

I'm really sad to see Amen go. Maybe I'll give Growing Pains a try. Since The Jeffersons is out of the 7pm timeslot now I have nothing to watch. :rolleyes:

Maybe it is just a Little Hiatus

I can't wait until they expand. I hate the thought of shows falling off the lineup simply because the lineup is only five hours long on weekdays. I know they probably have obligations, but I hope the infomercials run up soon.

"Kojak" is an AWESOME addition. Too bad it'll be on opposite "Brothers & Sisters," but I'll tune in whenever I can. It'd be awesome if they could assemble some more 70s crime dramas for a nice little Saturday night lineup. I'm talking "Hawaii Five-O," "The Rockford Files," "Barnaby Jones," etc. That'd be neat.

Why Dony you Tape Kojak at 9:00 pm Central Time

The ABC Family and TV Land don't have an Informatials and that's good!
I would like to see I added a 11pm block and also 3pm,4pm and 5pm blocks of Comedy's or Drama's.
Their own Game/Cartoon Shows and so on.
Shows like Growing Pains,Mama's Family should just be on for 30 minutes then they would be room for more shows.

I know I hope that The I Network becaomes a 24 Hour Network soon.

What about "Kate and Allie", i saw that on I the other day, was that just a special Christmas airing or is it on I normally?

I meant it would be nice if Kate and Allie could be on the weekday Schedule

Is this network EVER going to expand? This 6-11 is starting to get old. If they ever expand, what would it be to? Does anybody have any kind of clue?

They need to have a full primetime, at least until 12am....6pm-12am would even be better. A lot of people are still watching TV at 11pm and it's considered primetime -- why they don't at least expand into that hour is beyond me.

They are obligated to air paid programming. They will expand soon, but they have not released when. They would love to ASAP, but as of now, they can't yet.

I would like to see I become a 24 Hour Network

What is Obligated Mean

obligiated means they have to air paid programing rather they want 2 or not they would like 2 right now they cant

do you mean The I Network has a Contract to air Paid Programming

do you mean The I Network has a Contract to air Paid Programming

Yes. They don't have a choice.

I hope that The I Network Contract Expires soon

yeah for paid programs god i hate those

I wqish that Local Station's along with The I Network would cut out Paid Programming all Together.

Well that's a good thing that they really do want to expand. The shows must be doing pretty well for them.

Can't wait for the day! They have SO MANY shows they could air!

I feel the same way as you.

Though I will miss the nightly TimeLife commercial for various CD sets. "Malt Shop Memories," "Classic Soul Ballads," "Classic Soft Rock," "A Lifetime of Romance," "70s Music Explosion," and "Disco Fever" were my favorites!

Ratings for the "new" i Network have been great:

ION Media Networks Reports Significant Ratings Growth

New Content and Digital Brands Drive Viewership Gains for Nationwide TV Network

(West Palm Beach, FL – December 20, 2006) – ION Media Networks, Inc. (AMEX: ION) today released ratings information and analysis for its flagship TV network, posting significant gains of 21 percent in households and 20 percent in Women 25-54 in weekday primetime. The ratings increases, which compare the network’s broadcast season-to-date performance to the first two quarters of this year, reflect ION’s new programming approach of showcasing popular theatricals and classic TV favorites through multiple content deals with its partners, including Warner Bros., Sony, CBS Television and NBC Universal.

“Our improving ratings performance validates the recent efforts we have made to broaden the programming appeal of our TV network, for which we have received positive viewer and advertiser feedback,” said Brandon Burgess, President and CEO, ION Media Networks. “We are focused on delivering continued gains in the coming broadcast seasons, as we bring additional partners and content into our strategy.”

Additional programming highlights from the period include:

* “Mama’s Family,” which joined the schedule in mid-August, posted a 32 percent increase in households for the 8 to 9 p.m. time period. The popular sitcom delivered a season-high 914,000 households on October 12, 2006.
* “Diagnosis Murder,” which returned to the network in late June, has increased the 10 to 11 p.m. time period by 51 percent.
* Driven by classic TV marathons and theatricals, the network’s weekend primetime average is up 49 percent.
* The Sunday, November 19th movie, “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” set a season record in households, delivering 933,000 households and 328,000 Women 25-54.

“Our programming approach has focused on increasing our core audience, while still appealing to our current base of loyal viewers,” said Stacey Nagel Galper, ION’s Senior Vice President of Programming and Strategic Planning. “We’ve seen immediate gains with the pick-up of perennial favorites such as ‘Mama’s Family’ and look forward to building on this success with the debut of RHI Entertainment’s award-winning content on our network in July 2007.”
RHI Entertainment will serve as ION’s exclusive television programming supplier on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights for an initial two-year period beginning July 1, 2007. RHI will plan and program the 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. time periods, totaling 12 hours of programming per week, utilizing its prolific catalog of over 1,200 titles, which have captured 448 Emmy Nominations, 103 Emmy Awards, 15 Golden Globe Awards and numerous Peabody, SAG, Christopher and Genesis Awards. The agreement also provides for the U.S. broadcast premiere of at least six new RHI productions each year.

Additionally, ION’s content brand extensions, qubo, an education-oriented network for kids, and its health and wellness-oriented format, have made successful debuts on the network. Both spin-off brands will launch as dedicated 24/7 digital nationwide networks via ION’s owned-and-operated TV stations in January 2007 and will also be available to TV stations interested in becoming ION digital multicast affiliates in 2008.

qubo, which airs Fridays from 3 to 6 p.m., has shown impressive growth since launching on ION’s flagship network on September 15, 2006. On Friday, December 8, 2006, qubo delivered increases in Kids 2-11 of 157 percent versus the premiere week and 43 percent versus the previous week. Kids 6-11 increased 107 percent over premiere week and 71 percent from the previous week. In addition, qubo has outperformed the Saturday morning kids programming it replaced on NBC, increasing by 57 percent in Kids 2-11 for the November sweep compared with NBC’s November 2005 average.

Ah, yes, RHI is mainly miniseries and movies of the week. That's nice for those who like that sort of thing.

Mini-series and movies? What type? Made for TV crap? LOL.

Glad I is doing so well!

Hopefully by July i will expand hours, so we don't get stuck with the RHI movies/mini-series on weekends completely.

RHI's library: http://www.rhifilms.com/library.php
They have a few series like the Our Gang comedies and Alex Mack, but mainly focus on TV movies like Annie's Point and Mr. St. Nick and mini-series like 10.5 and Gulliver's Travel.

Mini-series and movies? What type? Made for TV crap? LOL.

Glad I is doing so well!
I checked out their library last night and it's mainly the sort of stuff that always pops up on Hallmark Channel.

Is Hallmark still selling their network or has it been sold? Still waiting for "Alice" One Day at Time and Night Court to be added I network it look like it take time. Maybe I network need that commerical ads to helped pay the classic tv show that everyone asked for.

No Hallmark is not selling their network. they have decided not to sale.

I belive Hallmark has a deal with RHI also.

For those on Directv the I network is showing

The Beverly Hillbillies weeknights at 2:00am et
I Married Joan weeknights at 2:30am et
The Beverly Hillbillies weekdays at 7am
I Married Joan weekdays at 730am

Ozzie & Harriett on saturday at 6am
I Married Joan saturday at 630am

only on I network feed on Directv only.

Why was i airing infomercials at 10PM last night? They did this last week too, I think.

Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve they didn't air any programming at all (6-11pm).

Also, Adam-12 which was scheduled Jan. 7 at 10:30pm will now be Kojak from 10-11pm. The movie was scheduled to run until 10:30pm, now it will end at 10pm. Kojak will air Sundays at 10pm, like I mentioned before.

Will Adam-12 Still run at 9:30 pm Central when a movie does Runs from 7:00 pm until 9:30 pm from time to time

You might of said this Pav, but any rough idea when "i" might be willing to expand? I'd guess in the summer, but not sure.

I thought they would have in January, but guess not. I don't know really when they will, but I'm sure sometime in 2007.

I hope they add more Hours Soon

Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve they didn't air any programming at all (6-11pm).

On at least the national feed I receive, i aired "The Inspector General" starring Danny Kane at 7 and John Wayne's "Angel and the Badman" at 9 on New Year's Eve.

According to someone at the i Online Forums, there's a national feed for DirectTV, one for Comcast, and one for Time Warner.

Here's the schedule on the Comcast national feed, which I think they just shook up on the 1st. How does it match up with others? It seems to match up with whatever feed non-O&Os use.

Think of the above as a good reference guide. If you're getting a national feed through cable/satellite, you're probably not getting the correct listings.

Also, Adam-12 which was scheduled Jan. 7 at 10:30pm will now be Kojak from 10-11pm. The movie was scheduled to run until 10:30pm, now it will end at 10pm. Kojak will air Sundays at 10pm, like I mentioned before.

Should have done a "print screen," but TitanTV (which i's site uses) had Dragnet on at 10:30 PM before it was changed to Kojak.

I think these feeds stuff is also a reason why i hasn't expanded just yet.

What do you mean by Feeds again

Well, I notice that Insight (my cable provider) is absent from that national feed list. It figures as around here "i" is riddled with religious programming as well as the usual ton of infomercials. It looks like a good network if one can get the national feed.

Also, Adam-12 which was scheduled Jan. 7 at 10:30pm will now be Kojak from 10-11pm. The movie was scheduled to run until 10:30pm, now it will end at 10pm. Kojak will air Sundays at 10pm, like I mentioned before.BOO, that's twice now. Why does I keep pulling Adam-12? :wallbang :wallbang

On at least the national feed I receive, i aired "The Inspector General" starring Danny Kane at 7 and John Wayne's "Angel and the Badman" at 9 on New Year's Eve.

Yep. So glad I have DirecTV :)

And I timed The Beverly Hillbillies. Give or take a minute, I clocked 24 minutes. I could be wrong but I'm thinking they are pretty close, or are, uncut.

I didn't time Ozzie and Harriet or I Married Joan.

I belive The Beverly Hillibiles episodes shown is the public domain episodes since they started over again. it was one episode of the Beverly Hillibilles they had an orignal sponsor logo on the closing credits.

Yes, "i" only has public domain episodes.

I've been trying to keep an inventory of what "i" has for their national feeds. So far, I've counted about 32 movies and it appears they have at least most of the first season of The Beverly Hillbillies. TitanTV doesn't have specific episode info on Ozzie & Harriet, so I won't be able to tell how many episodes of that they have.

from this site http://www.topiclink.com/info/article?page=5

it list 70 episodes on Public domain on Ozzie & Harriett

and 24 epsiodes on I married Joan

and 55 episodes on B&W on The Beverly Hillbillies

As for the DirecTV national feed. I turned on I at 11 and 11:30 last night. Neither Beat the Clock nor My Little Margie were on.

Same for 7am and 7:30am ... although at 7am, The Beverly Hillbillies WAS starting but it quickly cut away for Paid Programming. 7:30am, I Married Joan wasn't on for me.

Although at 5am, Ozzie and Harriet was on and at 5:30am My Little Margie were on, although both remain billed as "Paid Programming" in my listings, for now anyway.

Concrete proof of there being a feed for Comcast, a feed for DirectTV, and a feed for Time Warner - what ION refers to as "Plus" feeds. This is a portal for affiliates, so everything is password-protected.

Thanks for the find CRV,
at least we can see the programing changes since everything else is password potected.

so is the I Network a TV Channel or is it In2TV?

It is a broadcast channel. Previously known as PAX-TV. Visit www.ionline.tv

I want them to add Facts of Life! :(

seconded!

It is a broadcast channel. Previously known as PAX-TV. Visit www.ionline.tv
PAX used to have a channel in Cincinnati, but they are gone now, so we don't even get this channel at ALL in Dayton.

does anyone know if are they expanding, or have any plans to add affiliates in other cities?

We still have the EMPTY SPACE from the former local UPN channel - 24 hours a day it just says PROGRAMMING NO LONGER CARRIED ON THIS CHANNEL

Have you tryed using the I network (former Paxtv) zip code look up see if they have a another channel in your area
