NOTE: Over the next week or so, to mark my debut as a contributor, I will post on this site some schedules I have previously posted in other places. I will post all future schedules simultaneously. Over time, you readers will notice that I gradually include humorous remarks about some of the programming, so if you find anything offensive, by all means speak up. I have no purpose in doing this other than to contribute information; this is by no means an "ego trip" for me.
