Not good enough. Either you post schedules AS THEY APPEARED in TV Guide, or a newspaper guide, with accreditation, or you don't post.

Next time you do this, I delete without explanation.

KMRichards, why are you harassing Highwayman like that? I am sure he does not
mean to post these things in error.

It is all right for me to post TV schedules, I mean, I'm not perfect, KMRichards says I need to have TV Guide or a Newspaper guide as a source, I mean, I don't have to do it perfect. But I don't want KMRichards to harass me like that

Very simple.

Several months back, we had a monster of an argument about a posted schedule which had no source data listed and which turned out to be riddled with errors. The poster later admitted they had guesstimated the schedule based on the network schedules for the season and co-owned stations in other markets.

In the aftermath of that thread, I made a suggestion -- as the moderator -- that all schedules have their source data included. There was NO OBJECTION WHATSOEVER from the regular schedule posters, so that policy stands.

I only single out highwayman128 because he is the person who most often posts without source data, and yes, it is incumbent on him to make accurate retro schedule posts, because that is what is expected by those who frequent this board.

This is <u>not</u> harassment, because I apply the policy to all retro schedule postings. It just so happens that highwayman doesn't want to post under the rules. He said so himself, above.

No source, no schedule post. Period.

I don't have any other old newspapers or old TV Guides in other cities, except I have the New York Times database because I'm a member of Boston Public Library.

Then please stick to posting schedules from what you have access to.

Thank you.

I agree with you on this one. This guy has a habit of posting innacurate schedules based on the network national schedule from a New York City paper and mixing in what he thinks the station airs based on his memory of what shows a station owned.

This schedule though is close to accurate. I believe he cut and pasted one of my postings here...but I dont have time to check this with a fine tooth comb.

I indeed have alot of retro schedules in files over the years but am working to find accurate sources to verify them. I am working to get more in the fall through various newspapers from around the US. But I will hold on to a schedule I cannot find proper sources for because there is a chance there are innacuracies. I wont post them until I can post something that I know is accurate or very close.

If you are a member of Boston Public Library and live near boston...Then its simple...GET LISTINGS FROM OLD BOSTON GLOBES...I am sure Boston Public Libraries have them on microfilm...So take the microfilm of these schedules and COPY them and then post them...SOme schedule syou posted 6 months back were filled with errors many of which we all corrected..

ALL we ask is to post verifiable accurate information...Thats all. Nothing personal.
