There's a difference between a network and a company. ABC provides programming. Time Warner Cable does not.

You don't flip through a channel listing wondering, "What's on Time Warner tonight?"

@25 You're incorrect. Comcast owns channels. ABC and NBC are channels. (Disney owns ABC, but they get a trope page because they produce media in their own right. NBC is actually a joint ownership between General Electric... and Comcast.)

When you actually produce media, you get a trope page. If an arm of your company produces media, then only that arm gets a trope page. It's the reason we only gloss over the fact that Sony makes cell phones.

Yeah, we're about media, so media companies (at least, companies actually involved in the creation or production of works) are a reasonable thing to cover. Companies in general are not.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

At +21 (yeas:24 nays:3) 8.00 : 1 to cut. I'd say that's enough to call it.

But, I'll give it another hour or so for more votes.

Ah sorry, I didn't see the last post and cutlisted it myself. If you want to save the page, take it to the cutlist discussion

Well that was like playing a game of Whack-A-Mole where "mole" is defined as "Cthulhu". -Count Dorku

And the cutmasters agree.

Well, then, that's settled. Please clean up any left over redlinks. Locking.
