Talk:TBS (American TV channel)

message: Can anyone talk about when TBS used Turner Time (shows started at :05 and :35 past the hour)? How did that come about, and how come that's been dropped?

message: The sentence (added by Azumanga1 in the Revision as of 17:49, 31 December 2005) is "Viewers in Canada receive the WTBS feed instead of the national TBS feed, due to WTBS's superstation status, which treats them like terrestrial channels in Canada."  I can't figure out what this sentence means.  The only plural noun preceding the word "them" is "viewers."  Therefore, the sentence seems to say that "...WTBS's superstation status treats viewers in Canada like terrestrial stations in Canada."  I can't imagine that this is correct.

message: I'm not sure if they still do this .. but I remember growing up that TBS started programs at five minutes past the hour or half hour. Like, instead of starting at 4 p.m., it would start at 4:05. I think it would be cool to add something about this and why it took place. :) Syfymichael 17:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Contrary to the article, they still do this, sort of.  It's not shown in the listings as such, but my DVR invariably loses the tail end of anything I try to record on TBS, it's really annoying.  No other channel has this problem that I've seen. Lurlock 18:15, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

message: TBS just announced a new agreement. Braves games are being phased out, and Division Series games are coming in. I don't know the details but the sports section needs to be updated.

message: The TBS petition which is linked to directly in the article is commonly sent through www.thechopstop.com, hence the reason why I added that as an external link.  In fact, a few Mondays past, an Arkansas radio stadion used www.thechopstop.com as the portal to direct people in order to go to the petition.  Hence, I think we should add this link.

message: Has there been any controversy over TBS's new catchphrase, "Very Funny," when they have repeatedly shown movies such as Aliens, Starship Troopers, and The Grudge that clearly are neither comedies nor appropriate for typical family viewing material. It doesn't bother me in particular (the first two films listed are in my DVD collection), but I find it silly when you see a TBS station ID claiming that the station shows comedies and then "We now return to Aliens, here on TBS." Does anyone else know what I mean? PowderedToastMan 03:31, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Didn't see anything in the article about the fact that TBS still airs commercials for local businesses in the Atlanta area even though it's broadcast nationwide.

message: I removed an oddly phrased comment about censorship on TBS (ironic, huh?).  I am sure the editor who wrote the comments may have had a valid entry, but it was just oddly written  and more importantly it was uncited.  Jacksinterweb (talk) 03:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The first part of this article reads like a high school Freshman's first debate. In other words, poorly. I suggest somebody re-compose the whole beginning of the article, and the the section addressing the origin of the cable channel, with valid research and citations, to allow a more clear, concise article to be used. In fact, I had to stop in the middle of reading the origin section and come into the discussion tab to address this, as that's how poor the composition is. 24.224.56.58 (talk) 03:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: TBS (American TV channel) →  – Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television, the text of this article already describes it as a television network not a channel - its a distinction because the article is about the business entity which produces the content stream. "Television channel" is somewhat outdated terminology in that a channel is the customer-facing output - as in a virtual number assigned by TV provider, which can vary. (TV network) is the standard disambiguator per WP:NCBC#Networks. -- Netoholic @ 16:54, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

replies: text:  FTR, this is my take as well – just because every TV channel calls itself a "network" doesn't make it a "network". There are two legitimate types of TV "networks": those made up of a collection of local affiliate stations (e.g. CBS, NBC), and cable TV channels that have spun-off "sister" channels (e.g. Lifetime, Hallmark). Everything else is not a "network" – it's a "cable TV channel"... I will try to take a look at Sammi Brie's proposal if/when I get a chance, because I suspect I will have the same view about this on the cable channel article naming issue. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:30, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:   - Networks today, even if they have just one flagship channel identity, provide their content via multiple pay tv subscription services (cable/sat/streaming providers - think of these just as you would affiliates for terrestrial television), may have time-delayed feeds (ex US East/West) which are considered multiple channels, and may also run their own streaming website/app. Taken together, even the smallest content provider is a network of multiple channel outputs. -- Netoholic @ 16:32, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

text: Surely you can identify at least 10 of TBS's local affiliates, then? Bearcat (talk) 12:10, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I can identify well over 10 pay TV services that TBS goes across. Limiting yourself to "local affiliates" is an outdated view of what a network is. -- Netoholic @ 16:39, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
