2002:08:20:16:13:37 TODAY ON TV F11 he combination of preseason football and original unscripted summer series helped every major network except ABC increase its audience last week versus the corresponding period in 2001, as the unscripted shows continue to fare especially well among younger viewers, based on viewing estimates issued Tuesdayby Nielsen Media Research. Those wanting to know why networks are keen on these properties, in fact, need look no further than demographic breakdowns for adults 18 to 49, the primary age bracket coveted by advertisers. By that standard, summer two plays of Eat and My and a pair of for the top half- dozen shows. ABC, meanwhile, is still lagging behind the field, down compared with the same week last year, while CBS, NBC and Fox all improved their viewership by more than most-watched program, Wife and ranked No. 27 overall.

NBC also used the week to jump-start its third entry in the franchise, running three episodes of the crime drama in the time slots regularly occupied by its two predecessors and The series responded with its highest ratings of the summer. CBS also benefited from a double dose of which won its time period both Thursday and Sunday.

In fact, the word is tossed around so freely it should explore legal options to protect its good name. Consider ESPN Classics, which fleshes out its roster of sports (really, can NAS- CAR ever be classic?) with sports- themed movies dubbed File in the not-even-close bin this entry, It a dreadful 1989 horserace betting comedy starring Richard Dreyfuss. also not forget Cable News Network, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, a.k.a. News- Channel. Although each puts squarely in the middle of its name, all three have adopted a prime-time strategy clearly more devoted to the cheap, windbaggy AM radio news.

Then Entertainment Television, whose signature program these days is Anna Nicole which skews more toward the realm of sideshow curiosity than entertainment. As long as represents its scheduling centerpiece, the channel can only bring validity to its by adopting a more fitting Valium Vision or Psychotherapy Cinema. This to say niche programming is a bad idea, provided the niche become a straitjacket. Lifetime is for but that entails more than half the population, leaving plenty of room to operate, which also holds true for pioneering channels such as ESPN, MTV and Nickelodeon. As other, ever narrower networks-come-lately sprout up to fill digital tiers, however, they face a more delicate juggling some to break from their profile.

A case in point would be Court TV, whose fortunes ebbed and flowed along with the availability of high-profile trials until the channel successfully broadened its focus to encompass and a swath wide enough to accommodate reruns of and That said, trifling with brand names risks alienating core constituencies, from the many AMC fans who have expressed dismay about that directional shift, to historians who see the History recent edict as misguided pandering. really a debate over some hypothetical mass market versus a quality noted Roger Spiller, the George C.

so many people in this line of work, they underestimate the Geoffrey C.

As for finding he noted, idea is to get someone 21 or 81, as long as they have something interesting to say. The point is to tell a story that holds at- Granted, part of the TV audience regularly has its attention held by so underestimating them is probably out of the question.

But Ward is right about having faith that challenging material, presented properly, can galvanize those with a taste for it. This to say that networks should be shackled to their already an overused term in TV at the major networks, where viewers still bond with specific programs, not a channel or even a night. Just ask NBC, which has watched one rookie after another strike out in the time slot after proving that what must be seen is in the eye of the remote holder. Still, viewers do come to the dial armed with certain expectations, and as television becomes a cacophony of choice, cable networks have clearly benefited. ESPN need to be all things to all people but thrives as a default option for see much the way kids make Nickelodeon their first stop.

Yet that only works if these destination channels disappoint them. Flip to ESPN and find a knitting bee and men will be gone in the time it takes to pop open a beer as children would bail if they stopped at Nickelodeon and heard, on She On a more fundamental level, it also does a disservice to the language to call yourself one thing and act like another. Besides, TV spends so much time misleading viewers with over-hyped promos, at a time when there is renewed talk of corporate responsibility, a simple commitment to truth in advertising (if that phrase oxy- moronic) would doubtlessly be appreciated, newsworthy and, heck, it might even be historic.
