Does Ion have any first-run programming right now? All I watched on it
was the occassional Canadian series. I was waiting for new episodes of
Private Eyes to get recorded but that never happened.

If it's gone entirely second-run syndication, and it beats the C-Wub,
then hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

C-Wub is truly and deservedly dead!

Double nothing is still nothing.

PS:
The C dub must die.

I don't think so.

I know UPtv does import some foreign programming. I'm not sure Ion does
anymore.

Well, the dirty litte secret is that the new management basically wants
to turn The CW into (the old?) Ion.

If C-Wub no longer has any first-run programming foreign or domestic,
then it's no longer a fifth network.

That's dead dead dead, all the way dead.

It'll lose its non-Nexstar affiliates. They don't need to affiliate to
obtain second-run syndication. I really don't understand how Ion has
affiliates.

I suppose there is a slight possibility that golf ratings could justify
affiliation but not if they also have to continue to clear prime time.

They have another season of Nancy Drew coming up. A couple episodes of
Gotham Knights. And they announced a bunch of crap for next season.

I was going to look at the guide and when I got there, I realized I took
the CW off my dial entirely.

I wouldn't know about that. I haven't started watching the final
season. I have it on the DVR and will get to it eventually but things
have been busy and hectic lately and for reasons I'm not sure I could
even explain to myself have been focusing on SG-1 instead of 117
Twilight Zone episodes I've got piled up.

I have 134 episodes of CASH CAB banked. It used to be a lot more but I
think they must be expiring as they reach a year old.
