In with it all is foreign language TV. We have a contract with TV5 and are receiving a signal (though I have not been over to see...cause I am afraid of my boss). I did tell the good man that I was going to link in the schedules to our lab page, but I have a big problem. The TV5 USA website has a weekly programming grid page: http://www.tv5.org/usa/fr.index.ante.sema.html with cities on it, and the following command "Pour consulter la grille de programme de votre fuseau horaire, cliquez sur le pays ou pays ville de reference." Well I thought that would be a no-brainer to click on a city in our time zone...hey they are different!! I did not anticipate this, and I have no idea how to calculate our reference city in the central time zone. Anyone got TV5? How do you get your schedule? I don't know if I am Chicago, Nouvelle Orleans, Madison, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma....HELP! Next problem. We cannot seem to negotiate with Telemundo (heck, they can't even put together their web site [http://www.telemundo.com]). Yes, I know that Univision is better, but who has the do-re-me for that. Anybody have a suggestion for a Spanish station that is marketing their signal?
