Two years ago, I wrote an article about Smackdown. I know. It was a slow week. That was when Smackdown actually became available in my area, and I was able to view it. In that article, I said:
For the first time since 2004, I will have the opportunity to watch Smackdown on a regular basis. Where I live, there was never a strong enough UPN affiliate to receive, and DirecTV refused to offer the only one around as part of the local channels package, so, after I left Carbondale, I was in the dark about the blue.With the launch of CW, a former WB station that I could actually get on my DirecTV became CW, and thus I had Smackdown. |
| Smackdown leaves CW... and I'm back where I was! Really, WWE? myNetworkTV? That's the best deal you could get? Wasn't there some kid with a projector he could shine on the side of a building or something? That would likely double the audience of myNetwork. Smackdown is back on the same station it was on before, the formerly UPN WTSN 63 in Evansville. The station has like a 72 foot range! DirecTV doesn't offer their programming, possibly because they require the station to have a 75 foot range before they bother with them. Granted, that 72 foot range is worlds better than the 36 inch range of Mt. Carmel's former UPN affiliate, WCJT. They aren't listed as a myNetworkTV affiliate, so I suppose they are broadcasting crickets or footage of that tool Scott Allen spanking it to MCHS football footage... really, I don't know as I haven't gotten within 36 inches of the transmitter. |
| I'm going to apply my retail store policy here. My store policy says that if they don't care enough to put a price on or around the item so that I can tell what it costs, then I don't care to purchase from them. In this case, if WWE doesn't care enough to put their show on a network that anyone can actually get, then why should I care enough to actually work to get it? Sure, I'll miss the revelation of the Bella twins, Nattie Neidhart actually doing something constructive, biscuits and gravy, the return of "Hurricane" Helms, Ron Killings' US Title feud, and Jim Ross on commentary... but I also get to miss the Great Khali, Vladi Koslov, Maryse, and that useless, skanky bonebag Michelle McCool... and that is what truly makes it worthwhile for me... no more McScrawny McSkank! Thank God! Good riddens Smackdown! Go f*** yourself! |
