Re: [TV orNotTV] Vice Gets 24/7 Channel from A+E

This follows some news last week about how Vice is planning to launch in the UK too. Indeed, the Broadcast magazine article suggested that they're looking at 12 territories around the world. They note that this will follow a US launch first. From the piece, it definitely doesn't sound like a

[TV orNotTV] Vice Gets 24/7 Channel from A+E

While the announced nightly news program on HBO has yet to happen, the digital news provider has made a deal with A+E Networks to take over the History spinoff H2 next year and turn it into a Vice channel--no indication if it will be directly competing with CNN, MSNBC, FNC, Al Jazeera America

[TV orNotTV] Re: J-Stew signs production pact with HBO

I don't know Oliver or Stewart personally, but I find it doubtful that Oliver would be upset that Stewart is signing on with HBO. There might be some topical overlap between Stewart's projects and LWT, but no more so than there is between LWT and, say, Real Time. HBO is a big, multi-headed

RE: [TV orNotTV] Re: J-Stew signs production pact with HBO

Although I occasionally LOL during other talk shows, Maher’s is only show I can consistently count on for LOL moments. His writers are as good as President Obama’s. I’ve never found Stewart funny (too over-the-top for my taste), which is why I never watched his show and won’t be watching

Re: [TV orNotTV] Ad-free option for CBSAA?

It feels to me that CBS is trying to boost its international reach through the streaming service.  Trek (like Doctor Who) will play well outside of the US. There might have been the thinking that better the next Trek go to the CBS streaming service rather than Hulu, Netflix, etc.  But even

Re: [TV orNotTV] "Greatest American Hero" redo to get look from Fox

The first San Diego Comic Con I attended included a Greatest American Hero panel with the whole cast, and they were talking then (back in 2008) about rebooting the series. Of course, I was distracted at the time because Connie Sellecca (aka the skirt) still looked hot and Robert Culp was a great

[TV orNotTV] Ad-free option for CBSAA?

Holy living [expletive]. That's all I can say. No other broadcast network charges for their basic streaming service. Most will unlock their libraries and live streams (ad supported, of course) with a CableCo login, including CBSAA stablemate Showtime Anytime. And then there's Hulu. So I'll
