Talk:The WB

message: Someone should add in the article about the WB Cable stations, aka the WB100+.--James Stanley Barr 23:44, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cable stations 

message: Is the "The" strictly necessary in this article name?  Unless WB is very particular about it appearing in running text as "The WB Television Network" (and maybe even then, if we get clarification on the article-naming policy) then surely it ought to move to WB Television Network.

thread_title:  The WB 

message: WB Television Network → The WB Television Network – "The WB Television Network" is the official name of the network. The network is commonly referred to as "The WB". "The" is as much a part of this name as it is a part of The Beatles, The Hague, and The New York Times. Recently, The CW Television Network was moved to CW Television Network, in opposition to consensus on that page (see that talk page), in order to be consistent with this page, for which there has not yet been a consensus on the name. So I'm proposing both pages be moved for consistency. In support of this, I cite the Naming Conventions: "If the definite or indefinite article would be capitalized in running text, then include it at the beginning of the page name." - See  and  for examples where "The" is capitalized as part of the network name.

text: **There are only specific instances when "WB" is officially seen without "The", and that is in individual station IDs (i.e. "WB11"), and in programming blocks (i.e., Kids' WB, Daytime WB). Colloquially, one might refer to a "WB program", but this is no different than talking about a "Beatles' song" or a "New York Times article". All other cases, the network is always referred to as "The WB". Note that we don't normally say "the CBS", "the Fox", "the NBC", "the ABC", or "the UPN", because "the" is not part of those network names. DHowell 03:41, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Let's Place A Candlelight Vigil On The Network 

message: I recently added a table of the most-watched programs of the network of the 2001-2002 season. I meant to include the TV seasons following 2001-2002, up until the present. However, another Wiki user had deleted it shortly thereafter. My question to anyone here is should tables of the most-watched programs per season since 2001-2002 be included? I believe that such an addition is informative and an interesting read. Let me know what you think. -- Dechnique23 00:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the "Past Shows" sub-section of the "History" section of the article. Another such list (and, IMHO, a better constructed one to boot) can just as easily be found at List of programs broadcast by The WB, so this section was just plain redundant. Gujuguy 15:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: To settle something about The WB, were Tribune Broadcasting's WB stations affiliates or owned-and-operated stations? Tribune did maintain an ownership stake in The WB, but some editors disagree as to whether the Tribune-owned stations that were aligned with the network were actually O&Os or affiliates; does the fact that Tribune's ownership stake in The WB was small (12.5%, then later 22%) play into which distinction applies, does one company's ownership stake in a broadcast network have to be 50% or more to constitute any stations it owns that carry the network's programming an O&O?

message: I would like to propose merging The Night of Favorites and Farewells into the WB. Why? The WB already covers TNFF already.Meanwhile the Actual Article is 1: Not meeting the Guidelines for GNG (The Article itself had the tag placed Est 2013!) Only one source out of the 3 used is actually reliable. The other 2 are just YouTube.As a result,I propose TNFF be Merged into or preferably Redirected to the WB.The Next Best thing would be to have the article’s head off and dice eaten.
