Hi Susan, At one time TV Land had exclusive cable rights to TAGS which prohibited other networks such as The Hallmark Channel from airing it. It looks like they must still control those rights. That's why superstations like WGN could air "Andy" in the afternoons in the Chicago area, but their satellite feeds to cable systems had to contain other prgramming. Of course, TAGS is still syndicated to local stations by Viacom (who also owns TV Land).

So I think we could start a letter writing campaign to The Hallmark Channel to get our tags on their station after all they picked up I Love Lucy when tvland dropped it maybe we could get tags on Hallmark. They seem to really care about family value shows. SUSAN W.V.
