[edit] US sponsorship

I'm from the UK and watch this show on CNBC Europe. I've heard that the broadcasts on US public service stations are sponsered by General Electric (which owns NBC). I'm just curious that this seems to be primarily going out on public broadcasting channels yet is also carried on CNBC Europe and some US NBC stations. Is it simply because GE/NBC are covering some of the production cost? Or is there a more complicated arrangement? -- Matthew Humphreys 10:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

It depends on which part of the US you live in, and which television market decides to broadcast it. In Seattle, it's on public television, but on the east coast, it is probably wayy different.

Also, the PBS broadcast, NBC stations, and the video and audio podcast ALL have commercials.

In the erstwhile Hosiery and/Furniture Capital of the Cosmos, High Point, NC, the program aired on UNC/PBS each Sunday at 12:00 a.m. Item! Alas, it is no more. More's the pity. D the B of C.

[edit] Recent Changes

It's been a while since I've seen the show, so I can't speak to whether or not this Monica creature has replaced Tony Blankley - somebody who has more access to watch it than I do (on at a remarkably terrible time on my PBS affiliate) can address that. However, the plagiarism cite and indictment have nothing to do with the show, and if they are to be added to the encyclopedia, I suspect they would be better housed in the article on the subject herself.Cool moe dee 345 (talk) 14:46, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Any one know why Tony left?139.140.178.121 (talk) 04:36, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Far as I know, his contract was up. They don't do this show for charity, you know. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 05:22, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] OR

There are a great deal of unverified claims/OR in this article. Pretty much every section is lacking when it comes to citations (there are only two for the entire article). --Tom (talk - email) 04:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
