Talk:HLN (TV network)

Programmin Schedule

I know Wikipedia has a policy of only linking oce to an article (i.e an article which mentions Anderson Cooper would only link to the article for Anderson Cooper once). I noticed in the schedule section of HLN, the different studious in which the shows are broadcasted are linked to wikipedia articles for the respective studios multiple times. Is this correct? It should either be linked for every episode or just once per studio, in my opinion (which it isn't now).

Initial comment

CNN Headline News has dropped the CNN from the name again. Headline News a CNN Network

Robin Johnson

The link to "Robin Johnson" on this page is incorrect. It links to another Robin Johnson, not the anchor on HLN. This needs to be corrected, but I'm not sure how to go about correcting it.

Headline News Outside the US

I suggest you discuss even briefly what Headline News is like outside the US. From a glimpse of it outside the US it is similar to what SkyNews is like outside the UK. The bar which contains the DOW, NASDAQ and S&P along with the time is missing. In addition, they do not show US ads. To fill time, they show global stock market indexes.

It should also be noted that this only occurs outside of NORTH AMERICA, since Canada gets the exact same feed as the U.S. (as does Mexico I believe). Vikramsidhu 01:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Timewheel.jpg

Image:Timewheel.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.

Relationship to old CNN

Those of us who are old enough remember that CNN originally had a fairly short program length that repeated every 20 or 30 minutes; thus, Headline News was actually a return to the way CNN was originally rather than some new concept the way that this article presents it.

Requested move 26 July 2017

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was:  Not done (pmc) although Sb2001's argument from WP:CONSISTENCY makes sense, just because other things are mis-named doesn't mean others should be too. Maybe the nominator could nominate these ones too?

• Comment – In my estimation, "TV channel" is correct here (so, I guess I support). Basically, all U.S. cable TV "networks" should probably be called "channels" – only the broadcast networks (e.g. CBS, Fox, The CW, PBS), which are made up of a true "network" of various TV affiliates, should properly be called "TV networks". However, this is one of those topics that is not subject to any consensus within WP:NC-BC (or WP:NCTV)... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:45, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose. A television channel is a numerical value (local virtual channel 6 (if RF), HLN may be channel 1463 with a certain television provider, etc.) and a television network is the actual content provider itself (such as what HLN actually is.) Though there are about equal results for pages using "(TV channel)" and pages using "(TV network)", "TV network" seems technically correct, and we may need to move the existing "TV channel" pages in the near future. Steel1943 (talk) 22:52, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Upon further research of our own articles here on the English Wikipedia, if Sb2001's "support" comment below holds validity that a subject such as this one is called a "TV channel" in the UK, there is an issue with the current content at the disambiguator's respective article, Television channel. In its current state, it reflects the definition as I stated above in my previous comment without any mention and/or emphasis on the UK definition of the phrase "television channel". (Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this: I'm stating this information based on the current state of our own articles in reference to "TV channel" versus "TV network"; it could further confuse readers who are not familiar with the subjects in the disambiguatorsif the readers look up the subject of the disambiguators and arrive at an article which does not identify the disambiguators' subjects to match the definition in relation to the article using whichever disambiguator.) Also, I considered the idea of suggesting the disambiguator "(TV station)" instead, but per the article Television station, the term "television station" only refers to the physical building/company broadcasting a local affiliate of a national station by affiliates (such as KAGS-LD for NBC, WIAT for CBS, etc.) Steel1943 (talk) 16:52, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support on the basis that one channel is a channel, a group of channels is a network of channels. See ITV (TV network) v ITV (TV channel). –Sb2001 ^{talk page} 23:24, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose mainly because it is a part of a network – CNN. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 18:36, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
  • @Corkythehornetfan: Pardon my inquiry here, but my confusion on "network" vs. "channel" leads to wonder what you mean by this. Are you saying that the subject of this article is a network within a network? Steel1943 (talk) 18:57, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I can see where I've led to confusion now. Even though it is a part of a network, it is still a network itself. It shows a variety of different programming, and according to Wikipedia'a article TV network: "A television network is a telecommunications network for distribution of television program content, whereby a central operation provides programming to many television stations or pay television providers." It may not have its shows distributed to different TV stations, but it certainly distributes to television providers. I'm not sure if I'm reading that correctly, but that's what I've gathered from it. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 19:09, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Background music

Both my husband and I like to watch Forensic Files but because of the background music it becomes difficult to hear what is being said at times. Is it possible, when you’re producing the programs, to eliminate the music or tone it down. Lowering the background noise would make it so much more enjoyable to watch. Thank you. 2600:1006:B14C:866B:302C:93E:7E33:29DD (talk) 02:15, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Fictional Drama Shows

In my area, on COX Communications cable, the programming includes reruns of "The West Wing."
