In Case You Haven't Been Watching.....

[Bongwater]

KMYQ, which was a real snooze of a TV channel is now KZJO-TV. "Joe TV" it's called now (an obvious page from the JACK-FM rulebook on imaging.)

It's going for a younger demo, from the line-up. The upside: Heavy on the animation, King Of The Hill/South Park/Family Guy and Simpsons reruns factor heavily in the evening hours. Downside: Like KMYQ before it - Simply way too many infomercials.

KZJO has a good concept, but they should round it out a little better, more "guy movies", how about some classic Ren & Stimpy? Some G4 leftovers? Even music videos? Would be nice to see shows like Spud Goodman and Northwest Rock again on Ch. 22....

What's your take on "Joe TV"?

My take is that this is a RADIO board and this thread is OT.

I think it's relevant ... pointing out shifting content models to acommodate broadcast media audience changes -- which IS relevant (and a direct) parallel to radio.

BW .. doubt I'll sample the station to react to your "what's your take" ... but on the surface it still feels like continuing evidence of "too many signals for the available appetite", just as there are too many radio signals to be fiancially viable anymote.

Too late. The title didn't say anything about it being a TV thread.

If you don't like MY take then don't comment on it.

I believe in the case of TV there is a (comparably) fairly long lead time to get programming -sometimes a year, two or even more, to get the rights to something (used to be stations paid to take stuff off the air and have it sit on a shelf for when they wanted it) so any format is likely going to take a while to 'get put together'.
