[edit] Batman & Superman: The Animated Series

These series are NOT mentioned in the press release. They are also animated. The word at sitcoms online is i has acquired 12 series at this time. 10 are mentioned in the press release. They are going to air from 6PM-11PM. None are animated series. Both Batman & Superman air currently on Boomerang (TV channel). --172.146.187.6 22:55, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picking Up worthy shows

It has recently been announced that Everwood is going to be canceled over on the WB. I have been an avid fan of the show since the start 4 years ago. It is a family oriented show that has managed to be original while at the same time not compromising its morality. Please consider picking up this show before it is gone forever. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the loyal fan following that the show will bring along with it.

We're not the i network, and I don't think they would pick it up anyway. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:55, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
ABC Family will do the honors. -- M (speak/spoken) 23:33, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Info

Bonanza and Gunsmoke are not Sony owned shows. They belong to Paramount and air on TV Land. I am removing this from the paragraph on Sony. Jude86 17:32, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

I believe that moving this page to I (Independent Television) (TV network) was completely unnecessary and uncalled for. Should we move this page to I (Independent Television) or back to I (TV network)? One thing's for sure, we CANNOT, under ANY circumstances, leave this page where it is. I'm sorry, but this is NOT a suitable title for an article. -- M (speak/spoken) 14:51, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I moved it back, per the earlier discussion at American Broadcasting Company (which was moved last week to something like ABC (American TV Network). I (Independent Television) (TV network) is an unlikely search term, so I agree the page move was uncalled for, although if there are other suggestions, we should be open to them.--Firsfron of Ronchester 15:06, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not clear enough...

The "Family" programing thing is over with right? 2 weeks ago this netowrk showed a blaxploitation double header consisting of Superfly and Shaft. Yes they were edited for broadcast, but they still ain't family freindly. And that Mytv stuff is filled with sex. Not that i mind, i love sex and violence, but the article wasn't very clear about the fate of the "family" thing. This is great though, i hate that family freindly bull ---- and i wanted this so-called"network" to fail and it has. ---- you paxton! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.205.186.164 (talk • contribs)

Ok; for starters that is largely off topic; however I think it might be worth noting that i has deviated from "Family Programming". Especially with the airing of "Charlies Angels" They didn't call it T&A-TV for nothing (Tits and ---). I also detest the word blaxploitation; It is beyond illiterate.

They are also showing Bodog's MMA fights twice a week.

[edit] Created a list of programs

I just created the List of programs broadcast by ION Television. Can you guys please help me with it? Thanks!Nickelodeonfan2007 02:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name Change

If ION is being sued because it copied off another company's name, then I've got a suggestion. The network name should change to Channel America. Two reasons;

1) Channel America was a model for this network (ION/i/Pax), and 2) The network originally called Channel America has since changed its name to America One. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.62.209.152 (talk • contribs)

Don't ask us, this isn't what the talk page is for. We'll just have to wait and see. -- M (speak/spoken) 16:44, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect schedule?

An anonnymus IP has recently change the primetime schedule table. As this IP was recently accused of vandalism, it may be possible that this information is incorrect. Is the schedule right? I have no access to ION so I can't check it by myself. Bolt 20:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I checked the website and the schedule is incorrect. I'm about to fix it now. Bolt 20:03, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Facts of Life?

I just saw this on the program list under the "Future" section. I don't remember that show being part of the deal, but if so, that's a big development. (Or is it junk of the "Coming soon to ABC Family: Blossom" variety? WAVY 10 22:30, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Does ION Rank Higher than The CW or MyNetworkTV?

I was thinking at one point didn't ION rank higher than MyNetworkTV I am not sure if they have ever ranked higher than The CW but I think at one point weren't they ahead of MyNetworkTV? ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 07:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spring 2008 Schedule

Which recently got removed by Alucard 16 (talk · contribs). I was wondering why RHI and NFL Game of the Week weren't on there! Please, don't add it back in again without adding a source. -- M (speak/spoken) 00:38, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questionable Content

The following excerpt contains poor grammar and I question its neutrality.

"The network's wholesome family-friendly format was lampooned by other television series such as The Simpsons, Will & Grace, and MADtv. These show in turn were about dysfunctional families, homosexuals and comedians trying to emulate the more aclaimed Saturday Night Live airing on NBC" 05:01, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I question its notability. WAVY 10 19:14, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
I question its inclusion in the article at all. -- M (speak/spoken) 20:58, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I boldly removed the second sentence, per POV issues. 68.209.235.149 03:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Pax was made fun of by MADtv. They had a bit where reruns of "The Sopranos" was coming to Pax but was severely edited for content. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 22:09, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
