Old News

The Columbus Dispatch has finally caught up to The Word From On High.

This week in her "Fine Tuning" column, Molly Willow touted the advantages that the merger of UPN an the WB into the CW has for the Columbus market, mainly that we'll actually be able to see the former WB shows (Gilmore Girls, Smallville, 7th Heaven, et al...) at a reasonable hour. Our UPN/WB outlet, WWHO (channel 53), has been pushing these shows further and further into the night until they currently air at 11:30 p.m after reruns of Friends.

Of course, I pointed this out back in February, just as soon as I heard of the new network, thus scooping the Dispatch by five months and putting me squarely on the leading edge of stating the blindingly obvious.
