For me I would have to go with this
1. History Channel
I watch this quite a bit, although not on a regular basis. It depends on the subject matter. I hardly ever watch any of the reality stuff they have done. I mostly like to watch the documentries.

2. Fox
I normally only watch the simpsons and king of the hill reruns during the week, and sunday nights.

3. Discovery Channel
American casino is one of my favorite shows. I liked american chopper and I still watch it sometimes, but it just seems like they are stuffing it down our throats. They are becoming less and less like the old discovery channel, and more like TLC.

4. Comedy Central
Futurama or Family guy, whichever show is in the 10:00pm slot. I will watch it whenever there is an Anime on that I like.

5. Food Network
This network is hit and miss for me, I dont know when any of my favorite shows come on, except for the Iron chef. It is on too late for me to watch the whole thing every night though, and conflicts with futurama. I also enjoy watching Alton Brown, Unwrapped, and The special docuementries they have on on different contests, festivals, and events.

Those channels make up 90% of my viewing. I also watch comedy central some, and it would be number 6. After that though, there isnt any other stations that I watch with any regularity.

Hrmmm...

NFL Network (NFL Total Access/Playbook, or whatever Lions specials may be on)
Fox (Simpsons, 24, House MD)
Spike TV (CSI and ST:NG re-runs)
Comedy Central (Daily Show, Southpark)

That's pretty much the majority of our TV watching here at H_B Estates. I also TiVO PTI every day, but that's it for ESPN.

Fox
NFL Network
TBS
CBS

No cable...KTLA though

1. History Channel
2. Comedy Central - Daily Show, South Park, etc.
3. Espn
4. Fox
5. Cartoon Network - Futurama and Family Guy

we dont watch a lot of tv here at college but if its the case i'd say top 5

1- espn - i am the only mfer responsible for this, but if im in the room i try to sneakily put it on espn (none of my roomies really like sports.. wtf!)
2- mtv
3- spike
4(t3)- tbs/cartoon netork/fsn ohio

In no particular order

C-SPAN
C-SPAN2
ESPN
Comedy Central
HBO
Fox Soccer Channel (how could I forget this one?)

By # of programs watched? Probably the Starz network.

By sheer amount of time spent viewing? Dodger games on FSW2, far and away.

1. Playboy (yes even the 5 year old)
2. ESPN (lumping them in together)
3. PBSKids
4. FOX
5. Discovery and/or TLC





OK, #1 is not true......

I'm sure this will come as a surprise to everyone, especially those who have been in chats with me:
1. Cartoon Network ;)

I think it's hard to categorize the major networks- I have shows I don't miss or will tape (CSI, House, etc). Plus, they do get a lot of the major sporting events.

The rest I spread pretty evenly across a lot of stations: TNT (movies, old X-Files), Spike (old MacGuyver, DS9, CSI), ToonDisney (they get some good older cartoons like Garfield and the 90s Spiderman and XMen), and quite a few others like ESPN, TBS, FoodTV, WGN, etc.

SI

Sundance Film Channel, IFC, PBS. I hate television.

ESPN
ESPN2
ESPNEWS
CBS
Food Network

Just watching 1 baseball game (or one sporting event) on ESPN or ESPN2 should be enough to propel them ahead of most channels. Plus there is PTI and SportsCenter. ESPNEWS because I like the Hotlist and on occasion will be up late enough to catch Mike and Mike in the Morning.

CBS because I watch The Amazing Race, Survivor, the occasional CSI: Insert City Here, and Numbers.

Food Network, Iron Chef and Good Eats.

History Channel
Fox Soccer Channel
NFL Network
Fox

NESN for the Red Sox is nearly the only tv anyone in my house watches. Like 85% of the time it's on NESN. The Rest is FOX for Simpsons and Sienfeld reruns and ESPN

Fox Soccer Channel
NFL Channel
NBA Channel
ESPN
GoL! TV

Fox Soccer Channel
Gol TV
Setanta Sports
BBC America
FOX (for AI)


It's good to be ruler of the remote.

1) Noggin
2) Food Network (I watch Good Eats, wife watches Rachael Ray and a couple others...and it's our default "if nothing is on turn it to _" channel)
3) NBC (wife watches ER, Apprentice, Law & Order and I watch The Office)
4) Fox (NASCAR, Arrested Development, and Idol for the wife)

HBO by far.

1. FSC
T2. History/Discovery/Discovery Science/National Geographic (I don't really distinguish between these, just always check to see if anything good is on)
T2. ESPN (and all conglomerates)
4. Fox (Family Guy, American Idol, Seinfeld)
5. NBC (various sitcoms, The Apprentice, Criminal Intent)
6. TBS (Seinfeld, occasional movie)

DVR really has changed the way I watch TV, though.

<i>edit: USA has to be squeezed in there, somewhere, for the SVU & Criminal Intent re-runs... probably in-between NBC and TBS)</i>

In no particular order:
Food Network (like DD, it's our "if nothing else is on" channel, and my wife likes Rachel Ray (I find her annoying) but I like Good Eats.
ESPN
Noggin (My son is addicted to 64 Zoo Lane)
TNT (Law & Order Reruns, my wife watches Charmed reruns)
Spike (CSI reruns)
WB (wife only...she's got issues with too many shows on that network)
NFL Network
History International (the basic one is starting to get repetitive, I used to watch it all the time)

1) ESPN
2) A&E
3) Fox
4) Travel
5) NBC

1- Food Network. Wife would leave me for Alton Brown in a heartbeat.

2- HGTV. Interchangeable with #1, actually.

3- Nickelodeon.

4- Cartoon Network. If my 4 year old is watching TV, it's either Nick or CN.

5- Fox. Finally I get control of the remote, but only to watch "24" and "House".

tv guide channel. just so I know what I could watch.

We watch next to no TV at the Fonzarelli household. But what we do watch is on:

1. PBS (Sesame Street and Thomas the Tank Engine)
2. Comedy Central (Daily Show)
3. SciFi (Battlestar Galactica)
4. Whichever station is showing a St. Louis Cardinals or Green Bay Packers game.

1. Game Show Network
2. USA (Monk and Law & Order shows mostly)
3. TBS (other reruns)
4. ESPN

1. ESPN
2. Fox Soccer Channel
3. Golf Channel
4. GOL
5. ABC (lost)

Weather channel

1.BYU-TV: I watch this mostly for the Osmonds gossip.
2.BET: Surprisingly, a large amount of Osmonds gossip.
3.NASA Channel: A satellite view of Donny Osmond's home
4.Food Network: Recipes straight from Marie Osmond.
5.Spike TV: Footage of the Osmonds escaping natural disasters.
6.Discovery Channel: Love "Mythbusters: Osmonds edition"
7.CBS: I can't get enough of "According to Jim"!

I watch absolutely nothing but my wife makes up for it. I think her list would be:

1. HGTV
2. TNT (hours of L&O)
3. CBS (or whichever network station that has those crime/drama shows)
4. Food Network

QVC(The Wife is an addict)
Discovery/TLC/History
Fox
Bravo or FX
CBS (I'm guessing)

Hmm. I only watch Lost, West Wing and ER weekly. However, watching football related programming may cause other networks to rise.

22 hours of Lost
22 hours of WW
22 hours of ER

Oh, and I sometimes catch Apprentice.

Maybe 20 hours of HBO movies. (I get it free)

Figure 16 games of MNF - ABC gets 48 hours of so per year.

Same for ESPN for SNF.

Figure about 8 games each for Fox and CBS gives them 24 hours each.

Toss in about 12 total hours per year for each of Cartoon, Comedy Central and SciFi.

NFL Draft, pro bowl, college bowl games, the occasional basketball game, and the occasional sportscenter gives ESPN probably another 50 hours a year.

Looks like:

ESPN - 98 hours per year (Football)
ABC - 60 hours (MNF and Lost)
NBC - 54 hours (ER, Apprentice occasionally, West Wing)
Fox, CBS - 24 hours annually
HBO - 20 hours annually
Comedy Central, SciFi, Cartoon - 12 hours a year.
