Your fairy godmother has just waved her magic wand and made you the chief executive of a TV station.
You have total control of what goes to air and when.
How would you structure the content of your station?
Would your station have an emphasis on arts and entertainment or be sports orientated?
Would you have a high number of documentary or info-tainment style prorammes or would you lean to a high movie content?
Is there anything you would schedule as a "must have" and are there programme types that you would not have on your station at any cost?
Over to you guys!

I would demand that The West Wing air every night. It is the best written show I have ever seen. The dialoge, the issues, the humor, the humanity.....just wonderful!
After that, I would demand that all half time shows show the bands on the field (instead of the stupid talking heads).

Oh, I have to add Fugitive-ish shows to my list...LOVE those edge of your seat shows!
Btw, does anyone know if Now and Again is coming back? The one where John Goodman got hit by a subway and now has a bionic-type body? I used to watch that every week but I haven't heard mention of it's returning this season. hmmm
