dec 15 2007 new epier listing

I add one new item to epier every Friday. This is the listing for this week:
http://www.epier.com/BiddingForm_edit.asp?1647075
It's Barbie's infamous blue and brown dress from 1977.
I was a little disappointed last night that nothing else sold. I had more lookers this past week than I've ever had before. I suspect it's because I finally figured out how to advertise my listings on other sites.

Dec 7 2007 November WCPO pre-emptions

WCPO pre-empted only one program in November. Of course, it was one I watch regularly, so I missed some things.
Thursday, Nov. 29, 8 p.m., Outta Control Christmas instead of Ugly Betty.
Meanwhile, WXIX had two pre-emptions:
Monday, Nov. 26, 8 p.m., college basketball instead of House and K-Ville. House aired at 11 p.m. that night and K-Ville at 11 p.m. Tuesday night.
I don't mind WXIX's pre-emptions because (1) I know it is something people actually watch and (2) the station shows the regular programming at 11 p.m., rather than at 2:30 a.m. the next morning like WCPO does.

dec 6 2007 october pre-emptions

Since October was high season for the new TV series, there was only one set of pre-emptions that month.
The storm on Thursday night, Oct. 18, was infuriating for TV viewers. This is what was pre-empted:
1. WKRC/CBS. WKRC broke into Viva Laughlin! three different times for a few minutes each beginning about 10 p.m. Fortunately, the station had the common sense to return to the show after the announcements. Since I stayed up, I noticed that it also showed Late Night With David Letterman beginning at 11:30 p.m.
2. I am very glad that I wasn’t watching the programming on WCPO/ABC or WLWT/NBC. Both stations broke into their regular 10 p.m. programming and never did return. They showed the same weather map and talking meteorologist head for the rest of the night. As I was still up, I noticed that not only did they not show their regular 11 p.m. news, they didn’t show the NBC and ABC programming at 11:30 p.m. either.
