I’d come home from work, change into jammies, help with dinner, and settle down at 7pm to watch DS9 on Spike.

This week, however, it’s some NBA thing followed by ST:TNG. Now, I like TNG, but I’ve seen all the episodes many times. It’s time to enjoy DS9.

I checked out Spike TV, and DS9 is showing at 1pm. Someone tell me this is a temporary change during the NBA playoffs. (They are going on, aren’t they? We only follow football in the Ivy house.)

There were two episodes on last night, parts 1 and 2 of _The Maquis_.

I saw those, but I thought it was because it was Friday, when they do their Trek Uncut series.

I’m missing the normal 7p shows, Mon-Thu. ☹

Every time I’ve channel surfed past Spike at 4:00pm (PST), I’ve seen them on. It’s most likely just temporary.

Unfortunately, DS9 is no longer on during the evening hours:

> **[Paramount Network](https://www.paramountnetwork.com/)**
>
> Television's destination for premium entertainment and storytelling, with original scripted and non-scripted series.

I was dismayed when I discovered that as well.

As to what **Otto** said - every Friday is “Trek Uncut” on Spike in which they show a two-part episode (DS9) in its entirety with fewer commercial breaks.
