I’d like to build a poll to get a sense of how SDMB TV viewers prefer the various networks available these days, but I hate to have 100+ entries in a poll that less than half of which would get more than a few votes. So as a first step toward that goal, please list the networks you prefer to spend some time with. Rank them if you like, but if you watch them at all, at least mention them. As a starter list, I would put mine in these categories: Weekly CBS FX Fox Weather Channel MSNBC Seasonal ESPN Fox Sports CSS NFL Whenever they have “good shows” HBO Showtime AMC Comedy Central History H2 A&E Bravo Ovation NBC ABC Whenever there’s “Breaking News” CNN C-SPAN ================= I’m sure there are others I watch, but these came off the cuff. I’ll likely think of a dozen others once I hit submit. ---

The channels I watch the most (from my Canadian cable package): Teletoon The Comedy Network NBC (on Thursdays) Fox (on Sundays) That’s probably 90%+ of my TV watching. ---

Laugh if you must but CW for Arrow, Vampire Diaries, Nikita, and mostly for keeping Supernatural on the air for nearly a decade. Hard to believe the first season of that was back when WB existed. ---
