Articles

On the website, there are articles for the Renew/Cancel Index, and Bubble Watch. Why don't we talk a little about them? 76.116.112.84 (talk) 17:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Better a year late then never, but I just added a few paragraphs about the Renew/Cancel Index. The Bubble Watch is a completely different fish to fry, though. I asked Gorman if there was an article on the website where they introduced it (like they did for the r/c index), but there isn't, making it hard to be able to reliably source info about it. I'll get around to it at one point, along with adding info for the Scripted Cable Series Status posts and Numbers 101. Nick1372 (talk) 02:00, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name stylization

In the copyright section of their website, it referrers itself as TVbytheNumbers, but as far as any headings/footers and social media it's known as TV by the Numbers (as the article is named right now). Out of the two, which would be the preferable name to use on Wikipedia? Whisternefet (talk | contribs) 03:31, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing to note, all site titles refer to the site as TVbytheNumbers. Whisternefet (talk | contribs) 03:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would definitely say to use TV by the Numbers. It's how they refer to themselves ([1] [2]), and also how it's stylized at the top of the home page (upper right, in light blue). I wouldn't disagree with a redirect using the other stylization, though. Nick1372 (talk) 20:16, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Founders left?

There's something strange happened at the site.....

Format has changed drastically....not for the better IMHO as it's lost its 'edgy' style.

Not one mention of the bear this TV year (so since September).....why?

Not one article by the original founders......or names I recognise from earlier in the year.

I can't find any news stories about a parting of the ways but searching for anything with TVBTN in it throws up too too many stories from the site itself.

Thoughts?

Cw network ranking systems

Hi Bill Gorman

The reason why the cw network programing shows raitings are bad due to the fact the ranking systems are so old they are like 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 too old Girlmeetsworld8888 (talk) 12:38, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
