HELP! Important Mama's Family TBS Question About Timeslot - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mister Ed · 05-20-2006, 12:32 AM

Hello,

I live in Canada and here TBS only shows one episode of Mama's Family, but in the U.S. they show two episodes. Why is that?

Thanks!

for some odd reason the original poster is getting the WTBS feed from Atlanta and not the TBS cable feed.

Yes! It says WTBS not TBS on the menu. How can I fix that?

You can't. This has been like it since April 2004. No one really knows what I am talking about when I question it or seem to care. I have given up trying but I would like the TBS feed instead WTBS feed!

I found this on the internet:

Viewers in Canada receive the WTBS feed instead of the U.S. TBS feed, due to WTBS's superstation status, which renders it a terrestrial channel under Canadian law.
