The last issue of This Weekend is
here. Coming prospects for future weeks are
here.
I hope you enjoy "This Weekend."
Please share your thoughts on it with me via
e-mail.
This is a work in progress. I will attempt to continue improving
its format as time passes.
Currently it is based on a weekly survey from Thursday to
the next Wednesday
of channels that show movies without interruptions (commercial or otherwise):
Turner Classic Movies, Fox Movie Channel, HBO(s), Cinemax(s), Showtime(s) and
The Movie Channel.
Some channels listed may be part of basic service and some may be premiums.
(if a channel has both East and West instances, only the eastern one is listed
above).
