Yes, but after Letterman I believe.

All they need is the CSI franchise & other CBS shows that are on the other channels.

I'm guessing that CBS funds these shows themselves rather than the network that plays them and so they ultimately decide which networks get which shows (I'm sure that Letterman and Dr. Phil would be relatively low-budget programs so they can afford to fund them).

For instance, Ten would most likely buy The O.C. from Fox since they fund the show themselves, although WB produces the show.

the program it self would be inexpensive to produce, except I read where David gets paid just under $40 million per year as a base salary without extras... plus considering worldwide pants produces it

Your CSI programs and the like cost several million dollars per episode

Quoted from Morgan_Pym

That's what I cannot figure & no one is able to adequately explain as of yet

Why does CBS seem to have some shows packaged together for certain networks?  It's not the only American channel that is affiliated with one of our channels, yet lets some of its other programs on other networks...Please explain somebody

If I understand your question correctly, it is because not all the shows on CBS are made by CBS. Shows such as "Ghost Whisperer" and "Criminal Minds" are made/produced by ABC's Touchstone Television, which is why Seven has the rights. It is the same for all the US networks.

so what you are saying is that private companies produce the programs then sell them to networks in the US, after this the private companies can sell them on to other networks in other countries?

If that is so, why are networks here affiliated with networks in the U. S.?  If it is the private companies that have the power to control the shows placement

Not exactly, "Ghost Whisperer" and "Criminal Minds" are co-produced with CBS, but distributed by Touchstone. A show starts with a network, but sometimes a rival production company can be used to produce or distribute the series. This is quite common.

Australian networks aren't really affiliated with US networks. Australian networks are affiliated with production companies and distributors.

An example of this is how Nine got "ER" form NBC and "The OC" from FOX, because of their deal with Warner Bros. Television Production, Inc.

Quoted from mikewonaus

The past three nights "The Late Show with David Letterman", airing on Network Ten since January 1st this year, has been missing from the program guides on NineMSN, Yahoo!7 TV Guide and The Australian TV Guide [yourtv.com.au].  
There's been NO posts on this thread this year til now, a full dozen days into the new year.        because I don't bother posting information about repeats & I forgot this week because I had a dental emergency

Things like this only happen in the USA with a very major storm.   what kind of storm?  Like, the perfect storm?  Or maybe the storm character from the X-Men?

Even after the collapse of the WTC, there may have been a 24 hour lapse.   Letterman was one of the first programs to address the attack from its production, based in New York City, certainly more than 24 hours after

The lapse was accepted in stride, programming recovered & no excuses. not really sure about this one... except I was annoyed that the Sopranos was preempted so I could watch a couple of buildings collapse

Whose job is it to check a television schedule for media publication? let's have another crack at the sentence shall we?  Do you mean check for errors?  Or check when a program is on?

Why is it so frequently wrong? it's so frequently wrong, the television guide, because of a multitude of reasons... typographical error, printing error, human mistake, programs being preempted, other programs overrunning, censorship(thinking of Mr. Packer removing that program halfway through)

Why do networks, sponsors & viewers allow such shabbiness? & exactly how would you fix it?  Reinstitute corporal punishment?  If the program runs five minutes over, five licks of the stick? Thank you Mr. Milo, for making me a better boy.  May I have another? (Sorry, had a flashback to my school years)  

Does it not indicate complete carelessness? complete carelessness?  Certainly are the glass half empty type of person, are we?

It's not as if there's a storm or terrorists.  Or is it? you are worrying me... but remember, be alert, but not alarmed!

Thanks Morgan    
Okay  
  Whose job is it to check a television schedule forPRIOR TO media publication?  let's have another crack at the sentence shall we? Okay Do you mean check for errors? Yeah. Or check when a program is on? Yeah. [note: I LOVE questions as answers to questions (like warts)!  For an example, National Geo doesn't do sci fi movies like 'The Core' yet it's in the 'yourTV.com' schedule!  At 1025 last night I'm trying to learn if Letterman will be shown with some 'confidence' as two other sources failed to display a correct schedule.]
I'd address the rest but know the run time error will effect posting & don't wanna bite off more than I can chew.  Thanks for your help.  K-den, Dorfus )) Chucklenose.
