I just wanted to make a note that there is a listing of television programs that have been aired since ABC purchased the network, but none for the preceding networks. Is there any way to change that?
If there is more information, please add it
Fair use rationale for Image:CBN Family.JPG
edit
Image:CBN Family.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Network or channel?
editRegardless of the word Network in the name of some of the channels, these various incarnations are simply cable channels. By a stricter definition, television networks exist when several separate television stations operate under the same brand and share some or all of their programming or that of the brand as a whole. NBC, in the United States, for example, is a network, consisting of many local stations that, individually, are either owned by or affiliated with the parent, NBC, and which create and sometimes share their own programming at various times and, at other times, broadcast the parent's programming. The Family Channel / Fox Family / ABC Family is simply a television channel carried through cable, with no local stations and almost no local differentiation, except perhaps schedules that are shifted for individual time zones. This article should be revised to reflect the fact that, despite some of its names, this channel is a channel, not a network. — President Lethe (talk) 19:50, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- I wholly agree with this. It seems, for instance, that the word "net" and the word "work" are in the word network, ergo, a "network" is something that looks like a NET when viewed in an illustration. Channel is the appropriate word for cable TV, uh, channels. Apple8800 (talk) 17:15, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Television networks preceding ABC Family
editI check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Television networks preceding ABC Family's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Robertson":
- From Virginia: Robertson 1993, pp. 8–12
- From ABC Family: On Television; TV Works in Mysterious Ways for Pat Robertson, The New York Times, July 30, 2001.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:43, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
