So I started school today.. Looks like yet another crappy and lonely year again.. I always wonder how and why my schedules are always made to where I'm never with my friends.   :(  :rolleyes:

Do you think it's possible that you could get it changed with your counselor? I think you may need an excellent reason.

Yeah, my schedule sucks too as I don't know anyone in my lunch or most of my classes. My key tip here is switch out of any class that you may not like the most. If you opt out of one class, chances are is that they will change your entire schedule to accommodate you in the class you want. Like if you have Lunch 3rd Period and AP World History 6th, they might switch it around in case you decide to take Adv World History instead,etc.

It's looking like I'll be having very little people that I know in my classes here as well. Mainly since I'm in an unique situation where I'm only at high school in the morning this year (through 12:10 PM).

It will be alright, guys.  I am sure you all will at least make one friend in each class.  In fact, I would reccommend it; it makes things MUCH easier.

During my senior year, I got out one hour early, and I absolutely loved it.  It was only an hour, but oh man if I had to spend that hour in school I would have gone crazy. :P

Hey everyone.  I have a question for you all.  Is there currently a 'duopoly'within your television market?  This basically means one station doing news for themselves and another station?  The station I work at is going to start doing news for the local Fox afilliate, and I am just curious how duoplies work out in other markets.

Yes, our NBC affiliate does news for our MyTV affiliate, as well as our CBS affiliate doing newscasts for the CW affiliate.

Until last year WTTA (MyNetwork TV) received news for a 10 PM newscast from WFLA (NBC) which was live. WFLA also sent a rebroadcast of their 6:00 PM news to WXPX-TV until 2005 when it changed from Pax to i. When WTTA was a 'The WB' affiliate they had their own newscast from 2003-2006
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Okay so how are they working out?  Do they use the same set/personalities?  Or do they try and make the news unique?

yea doesn't Glenn Schwartz also do the meteorology segments for MyPHL 17? I know it says "Powered by  NBC" on the bottom of the newscast

Is this a national thing? Our NBC affiliate also does the news for MyAtlTV here at 10pm on weeknights and our CBS affiliate is with theCW.

Tulsa has 2 duopolies. KOKI-TV (Fox) and KMYT-TV (MyNetworkTV) are both owned by Newport Television. KOTV-DT (CBS) and KQCW-DT (The CW) are both owned by Griffin Communications.

*sigh* @ Time Warner. They're in a contract dispute with ABC and ESPN.

Not only ESPN will be affected but most ABC affiliates are taking most of the part in this dispute.
