Who has ever heard of these TV networks?
« on: May 23, 2010, 01:09:37 am »
   We here are basically a bunch of survey takers. Aside from all the offers we evaluate, we all take a whole slew of surveys. We've all seen the same questions on the same  or different surveys or profile pages and among them is a list or two of Cable stations and networks and broadcast networks that we are asked if we watched at one time or another. I suppose it depends on the survey designer as to what networks are listed, some lists are more comprehensive than others but few, if any, mention channels that I watch all the time. So I ask you, fellow survey professionals, Have you watched or heard of:     ???
     MTV3, or sometimes called MTV Tres, it broadcasts in Spanglish ( sometimes in English, sometimes in Spanish, and sometimes accompanied by the corresponding subtitles: English for Spanish dialog, Spanish subtitles for English dialog and sometimes a hodge-podge of English and Spanish mixed together in the same sentence.)  
    Some surveys ask about cable networks PBS Kids and/or PBS U; but how about Digital broadcast stations PBS Create (cooking shows and travelogues) or PBS World (tape delayed News Hour, Tavis Smiley and Nightly Business Report and repeats of Nova, Frontline, American Experience etc.)?
      How about RTV (retro TV - Marcus Welby, Emergency!, Rockford files, A-team, etc.)
      or THIS network (old movies, mostly B, Elvis, The Guns of Navarrone, Fistful of Dollars, They call me Trinity and such)?  
     Sometimes ION shows up on either a broadcast or cable list but how about ION Life (Movies, Say Yes and Marry Me, Pre-nup Challenge, Supermarket Sweep) or ION's stand alone cartoon station QUBO( yes the same Saturday morning funnies that appear on NBC & CBS (Babar, Jane and the Dragon, Pecola, Pippi Longstocking)?
    I've seen the Weather Channel show up on the rare Cable station listing, But I get it as a window on a sub channel of my local NBC affiliate (NBC bought it from Turner and merged it with its existing weather reporter. How about You? Broadcast or Cable (satellite)?
     The CW usually gets on one list or another but how About MyNetwork?
     TBN, Trinity Broadcasting Network,(formerly known as PAX) is 5 stations in its home base of Phoenix, AZ. 2 that are basically mirrors with a time shift, a third that is a Christian Music Video outlet for the biggies of the genre like Mercy Me et.al. , a fourth, Spanish Language station called Enlaces and a fifth I call TBN Kids for youngsters 3-12. These are not to be confused with
            3ABN (three Angels Broadcasting; two outlets one English, one Spanish) I've only seen it on one cable list. or
         Daystar (English language religious programming) that occasionally shows up on a broadcast channel listings.
       I don't want to belabor the point, but the two big network ( NBC has one and I think ABC the other) owned Telemundo and Univision  Spanish Language networks are not the end all of Spanish stations; TV Azteca comes to mind and I have yet to see it on any survey questionnaire.
        SO, tell us if you know these networks, and any other up and coming groups currently ignored by the designers.

Wow - you are certainly passionate about that survey.  I am not too much into tv at this time....so I don't watch any of those shows.  But, I'm sure people love them! :star:

^ What she said, lol. I don't watch much tv but when I do, it's the very basic channels that usually show up on surveys.

Sometimes, I just long for the day when we only had CBS, NBC, ABC, and one or two local channels.

RTV & THIS network, are antena viewer stations. The only reason I know this is because of my husbands step mom has them. Those are the only stations she gets besides XL7 which is our local channel. These channels you do not have to have a converter box with its just regular old antena.

I have heard of all of these, except for daystar.  I cut way down on my cable offerings.  I was sick and tired of paying way to much and not watching most of the stuff.  I do miss some channels, but I am saving 40 bucks a month!

The post is really not that long.  If something is too long, you can skim it to get the basic idea.

 :cat: Wow!  I say you should set that up as a potential survey for real!!   I've not heard of RTV, but would like to watch all of those oldie shows that I watched eons ago!  I have heard of Daystar and PBS World.  The rest are unfamiliar to me.
