Tell me your opinion of this schedule for a local channel

[Dennis Dubois]

I don't know where to post this, but I would just like to see what others think of a schedule for a random local TV station I made up. It would be based in Vermont. Please be honest in your opinions and be specific. This is my own little experiment. Thanks in advance. NOTE: This station is Independent, and does have many sitcoms, so I'm not too off topic. Furthermore, I made this schedule very diverse, not a dream schedule, just a typical one that a station might have.

Thanks, Chris

EXTRA NOTES:

58 is the UHF channel number.
programming between 3 and 5AM would be called "58 at night", like Nick at Nite.
Notice there is no infomercials on the schedule. I think infomercials are a waste of air time and belong on Access TV, or PIN info network.
I also don't like airing double runs of daytime court and talk shows that air for an hour more than once like Judge Mathis and The People's Court. The half hour shows are a different story.

JUST SO YOU KNOW...
I'm NOT crazy. Programming a TV station is my dream, and would hope that one day I could get a job like this. I'm only 17 and find that sitting here creating schedules is more interesting then going out with friends.

I love those late night blocks

[Scoobiedoo30]

that an Awsome Schedule for a local channel

[hhjp]

Very strong schedule, consider a mid-day newscast, and possibly a 7 p.m. one too.

[seventies_sitcoms]

The U.S. Farm Report sounds pretty rockin'!

[EmoJoe]

i think your shows are good, but the shows used overnight are about 34348908904890409x better then the ones used in the daytime. i think that most of the sitcoms you used should replace the judge/news shows you have on in the daytime.

looks better then most local channels, though.

I'd only switch on from 3 am - 5 am. Those are some great shows from the 70s and 80s... Family Ties, Jeffersons, CIC, What's Happening!!!
