Encore Channel Gets it on the 4th of July!

#1 Post by MagnumILWU »

I like watching Magnum on Encore TV! Episodes are in order, uncut, and commercial free! Right now, they are showing the final episodes of 1981. They really get Magnum there, because on Tuesday, the 4th of July, they are showing "Home From the Sea", from 1983, twice! At 9:09 am and 4:00 pm PDT! Hot Dogs and Magnum on the 4th of July! What more could you want!

This is great. I love when programmers actually take the time to understand a show and the impact it can have.

Yeah, I watched Home From The Sea on Tuesday, on DVD before everyone else in the house got up. Although this year, instead of my usual kayaking by myself, I took my wife and daughter sailing (bought a used JY 15 in February).
My essay "In Country: Place and Historical Connection in Magnum PI", about the importance of the Honolulu/Vietnam connection in the show:

It really is nice when the programmers on these specialty channels put the effort in to know their programs and audience.

Nicely done Encore!
