Puppies Kittens and Fish against the Superbowl
Superbowl TV
Written By Skyler
So , the Superbowl is happening this Sunday, with the Denver Broncos versus the Seattle Sea Hawks, and it does well in ratings ... this year the football event is airing on FOX at 6:25/5:25c , with the coverage starting early again.
Bah Football!
So if you don't like football or if you are like me and don't really watch the halftime show , so instead maybe the Puppy Bowl? Yes ,this event on TV has become just as much a tradition for the first Sunday in February it's the 10th one since the event started on Animal planet in 2005. You can watch this : Sunday at 3PMET and it will run until 5AMET . That is 7 airings. (each one is two hours)
Eh.. I am a more a cat person.
Oh , there is a Kitty Half time show in the Puppy Bowl ...with this year's guest Keyboard Cat.
If that's not enough Cat time for you , well don't fret. Hallmark Channel Announced last year that they will be having a Kitten Bowl , the first event starts this Sunday. It will air at 12PMET on Hallmark Channel ( if you have the West Coast Feed it's at 12PM PT) . It will broadcast 4 showings for 12 hours.
Too much fur ... I need something less hairy.
Well, let's see then... ah here we go... NatGeo Wild is getting into the fun with a Fish Bowl , yep a fish Bowl (get it ?). The Event will air at 6PMET until 2AMET , might be a fun watch if you like fish,
Find our more about the Kitten Bowl here where's Hallmark Channel? (note: doesn't show your HD channel listing )

“Tamron has established herself as one of the best news anchors in the business. It strengthens us to have her hosting during our morning news block,” said Griffin. “Andrea Mitchell is so critical to msnbc and I’ve always thought her show should be at noon. Andrea brings on the biggest newsmakers of the day and the new time slot will help showcase her work.”Here is the new dayitime line up which looks like a divide of news shows and opinion shows

A look Back at TV and Media Trends of 2013
A Look Back Opinions
Written By Skyler
2013 was an interesting year in the world of TV and Media we look at some trends we noticed this year.
1. More Cable News Channels
Even though, cable news channels had a down rating year , there was a launch of some new news channels and the adding of some that have been around.
Al Jazeera made it's splash first : on January 2nd this year they announced they were buying Al Gore's Liberal talk channel , Current TV. Al Jazeera Media which launched Al Jazerra English in 2006 was trying to get the news network into America since launch but has face troubles getting it on cable systems. The closest it got was broadcasts on public tv channels, some 24/7 using digital sub channels and online. Though the announcement that they were buying Current caused some cable companies like Time Warner Cable to drop Current. ( Though later Time Warner Cable added Al Jazeera America. ) Al Jazeera America was launched August 20th , it was made as a news channel that would focus on American news with international news splashed in. Most of the programming is done in the United States they hired anchors and reporters. Only a few Al Jazeera English programs and newscasts air on the channel. The Channel is different than what you would see on CNN, Fox News ,and MSNBC. No talking head lead opinion shows , sometimes long form stories, more news broadcast programs. If it will last is still to be known and what holds for the network in 2014 is unknown.
Another channel , though had less press than Al Jazeera America was One America News Network , this network is owned by the owners of Wealth TV Herring Broadcasting and The Washington Times , it was launched as a new channel to also have conservative leaning talk shows , it so far was not on alot of Cable systems. Though did land a cable later this year.
When ABC News and Univision announced in 2012 that they were going to launch a channel together it may have been a surprise and also made some wonder what or how the channel would be. The idea of the channel is a target audience of young English speaking Latinos with a news and lifestyle channel. It replaced ABC's unloved news channel ABC News Now. So far not known how the channel is fairing, there of course might be more programs and expansion in 2014.
We wonder if any more news channels will be launched in 2014 , also as BBC World news and other internationals also get expansion in the US it's a good thing that more news channel opitions are opening for viewers especially if viewers are tired of CNN, MSNBC , and Fox News Channel .
2. Binge Watching
Usually the word "binge" has a bad connotation to it but this year the continuation of the concept of "Binge-viewing " . Netflix , Hulu and others have been adding shows they are bought for the use on exclusive on their services. For instance when Netflix brought back the long-canceled FOX show " Arrested Devolpment" the whole season was available to stream so a viewer could watch the show their own way including the whole season in a day. Usually on physical television ? , maybe linear, you have to wait maybe a week for the new episode of your show the idea of being able to watch a whole season might be more fun.
It also shows a trend of people choosing to watch television on at random time on their own time. We see this trend of having mere online original shows continuing in 2014 , along with people watching TV their time and ways. Though , if you are cord- cutter it maybe a little harder to follow some of your network favorites ABC is joining Fox in soon only letting cable subscribers watch their programs online. (Though still appearing free on part Disney owned Hulu.) or you would have to wait a week for it to be free on Watch ABC. For now , the CW, NBC and CBS are still free but we'll see what 2014 brings.
Cable companies are now offering perks to make sure you stay for instance ,watching channels live through their websites and apps. Comcast announced they will adding channels to watch outside the home on apps. Many channels themselves like Disney Channel , have also added ways for you watch their programs on websites and apps Live and full episodes.
3. Local Stations up for grabs
This is more of interesting trend was this year was companies that own local stations buying other companies that own local TV stations. For instance , Sinclair which owns a lot of stations in the first place , bought some stations from Cox , the bought the company Barrington , it bought Seattle based Fisher Communications , Allbritton was also purchased . Gannett also went on it's own shopping buying up Belo's tv stations (except for 3) . Tribune company , who emerged from bankruptcy late last year, bought Local TVLLC , a company the Tribune worked with anyway so it might have well just bought it. Hoak was sold to Grey TV. There could be chance for more in 2014 and also makes a wonder why so many are being sold. It is causing the shrinkage of the market though , and could also make more fights with cable companies affect larger amounts of people . If anything it probably is not the end of this.
