Canada: Afternoon TPIR repeats end May 30
« on: May 03, 2006, 09:21:22 PM »
The cable channel Prime has been showing TPIR on a several-week delay at 5 p.m. ET/PT weekdays.  But the channel is being shut down on May 30 and is being replaced with something called TVtropolis, which has no TPIR on its new schedule.

Wasn't Prime aimed at an, ahem, older audience--and TVtropolis doesn't seem to be, especially if they're running those VH1 "CelebReality" shows?  The mark of Cain of older demos strikes again.

Except it doesn't looks like the TV execs have looked at TPIR in the last 20 years.  If they did, they would realize TPIR has just as much pop relevance as all the VH-1 shows do.

That said, I do agree with Mark.
