The affiliates list is incomplete-Omaha and Hastings aren't on there.  Also, when I click Kansas, the listings for South Dakota appear.  And if you click Hawaii, you'll find two channels-one for Honolulu, the other is WPXT Portland ME... now serving Honolulu as well.  Hmmm...

WAPK (Tri-Cities TN/VA) isn't listed either.

Is this thread seriously derailing into a tv station fact check?

Seriously, get out more.

You're right.  It is a nice looking site.  Definitely puts Twentieth to shame.  (Do they even have a website for Temptation?)

** Well, considering this is our first chance to see a full affiliates list, and it's incomplete and has errors, I'm mentioning it.  If the web authors do a half-ass job on parts of the page, why even bother with making it available?  If you want to encourage people to watch a new show, correctly telling them *HOW* to watch is a good start.

FWIW, that's not the only area that has errors.  Near the bottom of the host bio page, there's a link to "the official site of Ty Treadway"... except that, unless he had a sex change, it's not his site and that's not Ty. :-)

A nice site, yeah, but could use a few touch-ups.

They linked to dot net, when they should have linked to dot com.  A pretty easy error to make, but also a pretty easy error to check, and therefore a pretty dumb thing to have wrong on a brand new official web site.

For the Virginia list, they mention the only station as EDBJ in Roanoke. I understand that the "W" key is right beside the "E", but still, a little copy editing wouldn't hurt.

The site is nice, but does need the kinks ironed out.

It is a nice site, but definitely needs serious work especially the affilliates' list.  When I clicked on PA, Allentown's WFMZ wasn't mentioned nor was Allentown itself.  Also, WMGM is the only station in my state to carry it.  Unfortunately, unless I live within a scant few miles of Atlantic City, I can't get that station anyways, so KYW & WFNZ are my only options right now.

To echo everyone else, nice-looking site, but . . .

They have the show on WCTV rather than "WCTV-DT-2", and at 10:30 PM. Now that's a clearance. "We interrupt this airing of CSI: Miami to bring you Crosswords!"

Agreed with Craig (?!) about the clearances for PA...some odd information there.

Also, to Chris L!, I didn't realize that WXIN was available in Maryland!
