ECW switched to covers at some point. So by 99 that's probably not Pantera anymore I think it's Kilgore? The very cool version of the Zoo that Mike Awesome used (and I think Bam Bam) was done by Bruce Dickinson, for example.

They also commissioned Lemmy to cover Enter Sandman but I don't recall ever seeing it on ECW TV.

TBS' biggest first run show is American Dad. Cody's going to come back from paternity leave right when AEW shifts to TBS, and will rebrand as "The American Dad" Cody Rhodes.

Regarding the TNT Championship, I think I read something this week that said Miro would be making his own changes to the TNT belt. I wonder if that's going to be a renaming of the title to something non-network specific. They've obviously known about this move to TBS for more than today, so I could see them using this as the way to clear that issue up.

The AEW World Television Title seems pretty likely. The old NWA TV title was pretty heavily associated with Dusty in the 80s, to the point they added the 'World' part to the name to hype it up as a comparable belt to the world title while he held it, so I can see Cody pulling hard for that.

I may have just thought of the lady who sings "American Dream" at the start of Dustys WWE theme, but she sings American Dad instead.

So thanks.

I've been watching late-90s WCW stuff lately and the TV Title has been super enjoyable to watch. It's great being reminded of how much focus WCW gave to their lower-card titles and how they made the matches a big deal which meant the crowds were loving wild for guys like Ultimo Dragon becoming a 2-time TV Champion.

The word making the rounds is that between the switch to TBS, Rampage and the new quarterly specials on TNT, All Elite Wrestling is receiving in the area of an "eight figure payday" from WarnerMedia.

Internally within AEW, this is being seen as a positive and a way to increase the company's footprint on multiple networks and additional content to produce.

All these cable channels had established shows and brand identities a few years ago. USA with their interchangeable assortment of attractive people "blue sky" shows. TNT knowing "drama" and having multiple original cop shows. TBS focusing on comedy with stuff like Angie Tribecca and My Boys. Then all that stuff instantly evaporated. Most of the channels are just re-runs of syndicated stuff or movies all day. It really seems like the media companies pivoted to streaming and making their own services overnight, just dropping all that stuff flat

Looking at the schedules of Comedy Central, MTV, TBS, TNT, USA, etc is kind of shocking when you realize it's pretty much repeats of the same show all day long until a brief respite in primetime

i don't watch any TV anymore because it seems like it's not even a broadcast, just an endless barrage of streaming and regurging poo poo you pre-selected to record, or spear fishing for certain episodes you like

i'm sure it's all just as entertaining for people who uhh grew up with it? but yeah, i miss the channels having a broadcast, an identity/tone/aesthetic, you could plot out where the big sitcoms would go in syndication even based on it, it was a landscape that felt interesting to be invested into 10-20 hours a week. now it's just hunt and peck for content and hope the algorithms are generous with their bounty
