Ummm, I don't have cable, and I don't get The CW. Maybe that's just my local problem though.

Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

The CW is a broadcast network (as opposed to cable), it's just that it has fewer affiliates (which is why it's worded 'generally' available, rather than just 'available').
I figured we'd end up with a week's white font for network drama, 3 days white font for cable, and NAFDA for the other two categories.
OMG, you peeked at my ballot!
I've got to say the experimental TV threads seem to be working.
And Natter doesn't seem to be suffering for it.
I agree, Hec. I've mostly been in network drama, which I personally like because I have teeny-tiny cable and haven't seen most cable shows. I'm really enjoying it. As I mentioned there, it's going to be difficult when Wilbur goes away. I've become attached. I'm not sure if it's the case, as I'm on vacation and may have more time to check, but it seems like Natter has slowed a bit. If so, I think this is a good thing, as it's still fun, but a tad more manageable. Or, I could be suffering delusions from actually seeing the sun.
I think the discussions of the various shows is actually improving because we've got more breathing room. I've noticed that the Non-Fiction thread has had several mentions of cross-pollination as people talk about shows others mention.
For technical reasons, we're going to be upgrading the hardware and OS that the board's running on. Jesse has confirmed that we have the funds to pay iStrata to do this, so now I want to go ahead and negotiate a downtime.
I've sent an email asking what hours they are able to do this, so we can find the least invasive time for it. But it has to be in about the next three weeks.
I love the Nonfiction thread. I don't worry at all about spoilage in non-plotty shows, and I'm really enjoying the conversations.
I like all of the new threads, even though I know the point of them is really not to keep them. The only problem I have is that I wish Network Drama was 24 hour whitefont.
i'm actually kind of wishing that too, sj. i only voted for whitefont in the cable thread, but i'm sensing a future issue with my not getting to see shows like GA on the night they air(because of all the other tv that night) are going to keep me out of the thread until i see them. it was much the same problem with me and Boxed Set when i wouldn't watch BSG or whatever when it aired.
