    Wow so no sports aired on the CW. Wow repeats of Vampire Diaries are outstanding. This show is saving the CW.

    What does 97% coverage normally 98% mean?

  3. It means pretty much just what it sounds like. In that example, normally the FOX national broadcasts are available to 98% of the TV viewing homes but because of local preemptions (in the case of FOX for NFL football in Jacksonville and Indianapolis), it had only 97% coverage.

    Yeah, I’m surprised that CW hasn’t announced both additional episodes of VD (surely they could get 24 or 25 episodes) and also that they have a new “Buffy” or some other vampire type show in the works! I mean vampires should be hot for at least a few seasons to come! It’s worth a try over another failed GG type show! Especially seeing as the original isn’t even that hot!

    Buffy is the best show ever so blows anything on TV right now away. It’s not just “some other vampire type show.” That is all, on this matter.

    CBS is kind of disappointing. No 4′s? Even with the penultimate ep of Survivor’s season, against, like, reruns?

    Vampire shows are GREAT!!! … for me to poop on.

    I mean c’mon seriously… whats with all these lame trends.

    /waves angry old man fist.

  7. Uh-oh local preemptions and losing viewers who have Time Warner cable can’t be good for Bones. Oh no!
