A promo which doesn't give time of day, for a show not listed by the carrying network in its online schedule OR in Comcast channel guide, will not be effective, whether it is that show's premiere, or 20th show. Note network promos even for long running shows (American Idol, CSI, Big Bang Theory, etc.) show day and time.

So to Comcast: I subscribe to Comcast in Western time zone, so I thought I would check out the Comcast channel guide for Oct 11, now that we are just about there. I see weTV half hour paid programming slots from 2AM - 7AM (the 5AM to 10AM on the weTV website is ET). For 5 of the 10 slots, a show is named with some 'teasing' info and pushing the 'info' button on the remote provides the full 'tease,' they are all clearly paid advertisements. The rest just say 'paid programming.'

I am sorry to report that Grounded in Seattle is not one of the 5 shows named. For those interested, the 'lead in' for GIS is unnamed 'paid programming.'

The above also suggests that GIS airs at 6:30 AM in the west, BCCI's largest market (Seattle). I am recording at 6:30 AM and 9:30 AM 'just in case.' But for those in the west who saw the PR and assumed 9:30 AM was a 'national' time, they may be disappointed if they tune in and see a Will and Grace rerun.

Perhaps BCCI couldn't afford separate promos for all time zones (though why not say 9:30 AM Eastern Time) -- but then how are they affording production of the show or the airtime?? And with the show not listed by weTV or Comcast, or time given by paid promos, how will someone find it??

For those in Seattle who went to the Tavern by Seahawks stadium to see the GIS stars -- was air time shown there, and if so what was it??

Perhaps others can advise about DirectTV or DISH channel guides, and seeing promos in other geographies.

Apologies -- my prior post was in error while drafting.
