Reading some of the other messages here like for example that
Three's Company is only seen on 3 tv stations across America and some of the future changes at TV Land/ Nick@Nite...how does one confirm it?

Between FOX,ABC,CBS,NBC,THE WB, UPN, AIN, PAX, the indies, spanish tv, religious, home shopping, low powered channels..you got close to 2000 ( maybe more ) different tv stations in the US.
How does one say in Texas knows what is being seen in Maryland
on tv there?

In the past I have had friends who worked in tv and they were never allowed to discuss with me or anybody else for that matter what will be on their tv station when Fall comes up. Company policy.

Reading about the future shows and their time slots on Nick I wonder where people get their info? Do they have connections with Nick? Is there some kind of a net database that tells who when/where a certain show is aired?

When I was kid ( back in the good ole 80s ) I used to collect tv guides from different parts of the country and Canada. I would send one dollar to the local chamber of commerce and they would send me a copy of TV Guide that is availble in their area. Got one from every state except Alaska. Its interesting to see what is seen in different parts of the US though today chances are there is not that much in the way of difference.

Honolulu had some interesting channels I remember. Love Boat, Lucy, and Mannix mixed in with Korean shows ...on the same channel.

I'm curious to know if there is some site you can go to see what old shows are still seen on tv and what is seen on tv in different parts of the US, WITHOUT knowing the zip code and typing in you address and such.

You can go to http://tv.yahoo.com and type in "Happy Days" for example and it will list the call letters, times, and days for every station in the US that is showing it. Then you can go to Google to find where that station is located (unless your pavanbadal and have every station in every city already memorized

). There's also http://tv.excite.com which seems to be good for finding the rarer shows that are airing on only one station.
