I missed the first 3 threads in this series - are you collecting answers for the TV show? or is this just for fun?

(From the questions, I THINK the answers to this will probably be a little more streamlined than the last one. Also, I guarantee at least one person will try to say that New York is in New England. And someone should hit them. 😃 )

Networks, by the original definition, meant a series of broadcast TV stations which were all affiliated and shared programming. Using that definition, in the US the best known true networks are NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox. Cable TV makes the concept of a “network” largely obsolete. Though, in common usage a cable station (or channel) can be a synonym of network, even if it’s not precisely correct. In mordern parlayance the distinction is merely semantics, though in fairness “the networks” has come to mean the original 4 mentioned above and the WB/UPN while every other channel is collectively called “cable”.
