Where'd ABC Family Go?

If you have Bend Cable Broadband, turn to channel 35. ABC Family, which I loved watching this time of night for "Whose Line Is It Anyway" reruns, has been replaced with Noggin -- a preschooler's channel. It's now listed on Bend Broadband's Channel Guide, but not as a new channel like AMC.

Don't know when or why this happened. Any ideas?

Wow, has it been that long? You can tell I'm on the ball here...

Noggin isn't new. It just moved from the 100 level. My kids miss ABC Gamily, and I know I will really miss it in December, because they show all the good old Christmas shows. My DVR better not die with my recording of The Year Without Santa Claus.

Yeah, but those who don't have digital cable, Wendy, never see the 100 level, so it's new to us basic cable folks :-)

I about freaked when Degrassi didn't tape a few Fridays ago and then I found noggin on channel 35 and I was relieved.

here's the link to the faqs:

it looks like you can chalk it up to Eisner needing more money... Must be nice...

From the bendbroadband faq:

Some examples of the programs available in syndication on other channels within the BendBroadband channel lineup include Gilmore Girls, Smallville, Whose Line Is It Anyway, 7th Heaven, Boy Meets World and others.

Most of the ep's shown on ABC/CW are new, not the repeats. I personally liked the Gilmore reruns because that show has been on for many years and I missed things along the way. I didn't see any listings for Whose Line except on BBC... which is not part of the basic cable lineup.

Bendbroadband... meh!
