message: Over the past months, TV episodes have been redirected by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here . Even if you have not, other opinions are needed because this issue is affecting all TV episodes in Wikipedia. --Maniwar (talk) 02:01, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The article mentions that TNT has announced that it will air The Mentalist, but as of now, it is already airing it. So, leave it just mentioning the announcement or update it saying that it began airing the show on (whatever date)? Brinkley32 (talk) 00:15, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Think people would be interested to know TNT's approach to scheduling and advertising in shows.
TNT has long been famous (infamous?) for both their heavy re-use of shows and their unusually long commercial breaks. 
TNT will often replay a particular movie back-to-back with itself, or will show the same movie several nights in a row, and will re-used the movie multiple times over a short period of time. I have an industry friend that said this was a "slightly sleazy" approach to programming where they buy the rights for a short period of time and milk it for everything it's worth.
TNT also seemed to pioneer the approach of delaying advertising in a movie for upwards of 30 minutes into a broadcast before the first break, but increasing the frequency as the show nears completion, often to the point where there is more advertising than movie towards the end of a broadcast. This is more apparent now that some TNT broadcasts are available online with advertisement placeholders as a plainly-visible series on the shuttle bar.
Furthermore, as I grew up with TNT i noticed that the average advertisements on other channels was almost always 2 minutes, while TNT would often spend 4 or 5 minutes. It seems to have gotten significantly longer as the years have passed. I timed a commercial break in X-Men Origins that was nine minutes long, followed by four minutes of the movie before the another eight minute break!
I can find discussions of these topics but I can't find references - does anyone have anything definitive? 98.254.50.29 (talk) 14:09, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Note: It was mentioned that :Category:English-language television stations in the United States contains a mix of "TV channel" and "TV network" and "the WikiProject needs to tighten up the definition."Following a period of haphazard terminology, we actually settled on "TV channel" years ago (and in the interest of full disclosure, I'll mention that I participated in that process).  Most current instances of "TV network" resulted from recent undiscussed moves, performed primarily by the user behind the above request.  —David Levy 04:38, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

message: One noticeable and notable change to TNT's programming in the last few years is that a number of its original scripted series include levels of sexual explicitness and violence that was unheard of on TNT or TBS only a few years ago. Recent examples include Claws and Animal Kingdom. This change in programming policy I think is worth mention as it's a reflection of how basic cable networks are forced to become more sexually explicit and violent to keep up with HBO and the streaming services where the majority of original scripted programming is of this nature. 68.146.233.86 (talk) 06:03, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
