I was hoping for a few changes here and there, but I guess not. Hopefully we'll get something else in June.

I don't get why they just don't air Drew Carey on Thursday nights at 10pm. I mean, the movies run to 11pm twice anyways, and Drew Carey is airing at 10:30 afterwards twice. 48 Hours is only airing once - I don't get the point.

I would be nice if they would start at 2pm-11pm add more stuff from the Library deals they got air more classic televsion shows. let hope they expand some more in the furture.

Bummer -- I'm really disappointed that ION didn't expand their hours and add a couple more shows to their schedule -- they certainly have a lot of shows in their vault.

They could even expand their shows without expanding their hours. I think The Wayans Bros. and Steve Harvey could be on once a night, so two more sitcoms can fit in the lineup.

And what happened to Baywatch? Is it gone already?

ION = Incredibly Odd Network -- well said!!

Two weeks is not a real test for a show's rating. I was hoping that ION would give Perfect Strangers another chance.

TVFactFan · 04-15-2008, 01:48 PM

I wish Comcast would drop ION off my service like ION dropped Alice and Perfect Strangers

I see that you have written this several times across the forum, and you probably should be aware of something that is called "must carry." In 1972 it was federally mandated that all cable companies have to carry all broadcast television networks that have owned and operated stations within 50-60 miles. You live in Philadelphia. ION Television is a broadcast television network and has an owned and operated station in Philly called WPPX. There is no way that ION Television would ever be taken off the Comcast cable lineup in Philadelphia unless the FCC changed this law. I know that this isn't the information you wanted, but it at least explains why.

Which I'm sure is just another form of paid programming--the people who make this are paying ION to play it ala the religious programming in the morning.
