Alice will air 7 and 7:30pm starting Dec. 3. So 7:30pm is just for the week of Nov. 26, then a week later it will air for a full hour from 7-8pm Mon-Thurs starting Dec. 3.
See December thread for details.

Wow, what a big launch.

During the Mama's Family marathon, ION was advertising a New-year's eve marathon of The Drew Carey Show. Is Drew Carey going to air regularly in January or just a one time event?

clj2 · 11-22-2007, 08:33 PM

Going by their past history, Id be willing to bet it's coming in January. They have done marathons before shows come before.

I bet Drew C. will come in January and air 9-10. It's about time they pulled WTB?, seeing how they've done their other shows.

I doubt they'd pull WTB. It's been doing well for them since it launched back in July. They'll probably replace it with an airing of Amen of Alice most likely. I'd like to see them put it at 10pm, because I usually have nothing good to watch then

Besides that, I couldn't be happier Drew Carey is coming. Definitely an unexpected move I'd say, because that show seems really new for their lineup, but who cares? WB has most likely abandoned it on DVD, and TBS didn't renew it's contract this fall, so it's good to see the show come back!

I'd really like to see ION air holiday episodes from all their shows. Airing only episoes from 3 shows is very boring. Last year they aired episodes from tons of different shows. Growing Pains and The Wonder Years had some great Christmas episodes, plus the others like Alice, Amen, and Designing Women.

maybe Ion will add an Hour and Put Drew Cary at 4:00 pm and 4:30 pm Central Time

Like that'll happen

I'd love to see Drew Carey at either 10pm or 6pm, because those 2 are the best hours for me. 9 is also good, but I'd hate to see them replace WTB. Maybe an episode of WTB at 9 and Drew Carey at 9:30?

Scoobiedoo30 · 11-23-2007, 03:42 PM

well 9:00 pm and 9:30 pm Central Time would make a great Time show for Drew Carey Show

Firebrand Makes Its Debut as the First Multi-Platform Network Dedicated to Commercial Culture

ION Television and Firebrand.com Feature Best Spots from Around the World, Playlists, Favorite Brands, Special Promotions Commercial Celebrities Make Guest Appearances

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 -- Firebrand, a revolutionary new network that programs only the best television commercials, makes its multi-platform debut tonight on the ION Television Network at 11 pm ET, and simultaneously 24/7 with streaming video on http://www.firebrand.com. In addition, Firebrand will be available for mobile on demand and via iTunes' free downloads.

Firebrand features the most creative advertising, best video game trailers and special promotions, providing a unique destination for commercial culture. Firebrand programs TV commercials the way music networks have programmed music videos. "Viewers are encouraged to 'Opt-in, Search, Download and Share' their favorite spots on TV, the web and mobile," says John A. Lack, Chief Executive Officer/Co-Founder.

As Firebrand premieres on ION Television, consumers will see a line-up of the familiar, funny, sexy, controversial, edgy, poignant, and downright ridiculous. In the first hour on Firebrand, viewers will see spots from renowned directors like David Fincher, catch commercials that feature great actors like Clive Owen, and view a new twist on a Madonna video in a spot all the way from Egypt. Viewers will also be able to enjoy some of the best ads from past Super Bowls.

"As a consumer, I had wondered why great commercials didn't have a channel of their own," says Roman Vinoly, Chief Creative Officer/Co-Founder. "What marginalizes commercials is the programming that interrupts it, not the other way around."

Firebrand will enlist the aid of "Commercial Jockeys" or "CJs" who will guide the viewing audience through award-winning ads, exclusives, director's cuts and never-before-seen-on-TV commercials. In its first month, Firebrand will feature commercial celebrities like the Dell Dude, Ben Curtis, Capitol One's angel, Jay Klaitz, and the young star of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, Zach Mills. Each will make a guest appearance on Firebrand, talking about their favorite commercials, setting up spots and sharing their playlists.

"Firebrand is the best of commercial culture dished up in a way to appeal best to the group most likely to 'get it' -- the Gen Y Millennials -- who are already checking out this stuff online, on TV and on their mobile devices," says Shari F. Leventhal, Chief Marketing Officer.

To kick off the holidays in style, Firebrand will launch its "Twelve Days of Firebrand," with a daily prize giveaway that gets better each day. Prizes will include Xbox, video iPod Nanos and a grand prize that includes VIP tickets to professional football's biggest game.

Major investors in Firebrand include Microsoft, NBC Universal and GE's Peacock Equity Fund. Firebrand can always be found at http://www.firebrand.com, http://www.itunes.com, weeknights on ION television network from 11 PM -12 AM ET, and coming soon on http://www.adweek.com. If you love a good commercial, you're going to love Firebrand.
