I think I understand the distinction you're making here, but I don't think it's a significant one. The bodies awarding the Emmys don't think so, either, since they awarded seven Emmys to shows distributed solely via Netflix and five to Amazon shows. And I didn't say "TV networks" -- if I had, I think I could argue against the inclusion of HBO programming since it's not delivered over-the-air like traditional television (I know, showing my age here) :-) I suppose I could have said "original-content-delivery company", but then nobody would have known what the hell I was talking about. This is the kind of discussion that beer was made for :-) Don |

Then you shouldn't've made it in the question. > The bodies awarding the Emmys don't think so, either, since they > awarded seven Emmys to shows distributed solely via Netflix and five > to Amazon shows. Yes, they consider it's all TV and don't care whether it's network TV or not. You, however, asked about networks. > And I didn't say "TV networks" "TV" was implied by the mention of Emmys. > -- if I had, I think I could argue against the inclusion of HBO programming... I would not object if you did. -- Mark Brader | "One must scythe the thickets of metaphor Toronto | if one wishes to harvest the grain of reason." msb@vex.net | --Robert Ludlum My text in this article is in the public domain. |

The last time I paid a lot of attention to the Big 10, they only had 12 schools. I vaguely remember Maryland and Rutgers joining, but forgot about them when answering the question. Hey, I went to a Pac-12 school, although when I went there it was still the Pac-8. > Congratulations to Dan Tilque for winning RQ #308 -- #309 is yours!
