Can anyone talk about when TBS used Turner Time (shows started at :05 and :35 past the hour)? How did that come about, and how come that's been dropped?

I changed the opening sentence that explained the abreviation tbs twice in the same line (how could you not see this, seeing how old this entry is?!). It used to be: "TBS (Turner Broadcasting System), stylised in the logo as tbs, short for Turner Broadcasting Station" 192.35.17.13 (talk) 10:56, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence (added by Azumanga1 in the Revision as of 17:49, 31 December 2005) is "Viewers in Canada receive the WTBS feed instead of the national TBS feed, due to WTBS's superstation status, which treats them like terrestrial channels in Canada." I can't figure out what this sentence means. The only plural noun preceding the word "them" is "viewers." Therefore, the sentence seems to say that "...WTBS's superstation status treats viewers in Canada like terrestrial stations in Canada." I can't imagine that this is correct.

He means that wpch-tv is used in place of Tbs in Canada. (Now where,oh where might Sinebot be?) 99.230.152.143 03:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if they still do this .. but I remember growing up that TBS started programs at five minutes past the hour or half hour. Like, instead of starting at 4 p.m., it would start at 4:05. I think it would be cool to add something about this and why it took place. :) Syfymichael 17:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I did some research and added a section in about Turner Time. :) Syfymichael 23:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Contrary to the article, they still do this, sort of. It's not shown in the listings as such, but my DVR invariably loses the tail end of anything I try to record on TBS, it's really annoying. No other channel has this problem that I've seen. Lurlock 18:15, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TBS just announced a new agreement. Braves games are being phased out, and Division Series games are coming in. I don't know the details but the sports section needs to be updated.

Can you please put your signature when you are done making a comment on an article discussion pages so people will know who is making that comment on the discussion pages--67.34.215.167 08:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

who ever is in charge over there should get thier head out of thier a** and put the Braves back on. It was for someof us the only reason we would tune in to the superstation since WCW left now the Braves are gone too. Now thats just going to far. Now living down here in Texas I have to go on line just to keep up with the scores, now I know I'm not the only one thats fealing the abscence of our beloved braves across the whole U.S.; so do the right thing and put them back on, we really don't care if you want to show someone different say like on a Saturday or maybe even a Thursday. The Braves and TBS just go together. Its a shame when I'm reduced to watching Astros game.

Can anyone confirm or deniy this? If not, this section needs to be removed.

It said on my digital cable information guide that they did air "Captain Planet" on Saturday mornings as well as a program called Feed Your Mind. (My digital cable information guide is never wrong, you know. Not like psychic, but you get the idea). And put your Signature after a comment, like67.34.215.167 said. Thank you.99.230.152.143 14:43, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The TBS petition which is linked to directly in the article is commonly sent through www.thechopstop.com, hence the reason why I added that as an external link. In fact, a few Mondays past, an Arkansas radio stadion used www.thechopstop.com as the portal to direct people in order to go to the petition. Hence, I think we should add this link.

Has there been any controversy over TBS's new catchphrase, "Very Funny," when they have repeatedly shown movies such as Aliens, Starship Troopers, and The Grudge that clearly are neither comedies nor appropriate for typical family viewing material. It doesn't bother me in particular (the first two films listed are in my DVD collection), but I find it silly when you see a TBS station ID claiming that the station shows comedies and then "We now return to Aliens, here on TBS." Does anyone else know what I mean? PowderedToastMan 03:31, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but that refers to the comedies they air. Oh, and they abandoned that when the name was changed. 99.230.152.143 14:30, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When i watched the network recently,it said that the network changed its name to Peachtree TV. How come Wikipedia has no info on this? Should I edit it in? 99.230.152.143 00:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't see anything in the article about the fact that TBS still airs commercials for local businesses in the Atlanta area even though it's broadcast nationwide. Kind of weird seeing an ad for a local business that you'd have to drive halfway across the country to visit... Lurlock 18:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed an oddly phrased comment about censorship on TBS (ironic, huh?). I am sure the editor who wrote the comments may have had a valid entry, but it was just oddly written and more importantly it was uncited. Jacksinterweb (talk) 03:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:TBSlogos.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

How can a forum (source #1 and #3) be cited as a valid source???? --69.25.39.22 (talk) 20:59, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The first part of this article reads like a high school Freshman's first debate. In other words, poorly. I suggest somebody re-compose the whole beginning of the article, and the the section addressing the origin of the cable channel, with valid research and citations, to allow a more clear, concise article to be used. In fact, I had to stop in the middle of reading the origin section and come into the discussion tab to address this, as that's how poor the composition is. 24.224.56.58 (talk) 03:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed a sentence under "Turner Time" that criticized TBS HD. It really had nothing to do with Turner Time, and was unsourced. Bluesmanjay (talk) 13:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article notes that TBS is available throughout the United States and also in Canada. Is it available in Europe??? If not, could somebody who knows put in a short sentence saying that it is not available in Europe? If it is available, could somebody note which channel it is on on the Sky/Astra satellite??? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.153.118.64 (talk) 23:16, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
