Programming
Me-TV's program schedule relies on the extensive library of television programs that are currently owned by CBS Television Distribution and 20th Television; as such, no originally-produced programming appears on the network, though two programs produced by parent company Weigel Broadcasting (Svengoolie and Green Screen Adventures) are aired on Me-TV. The network's primary continuity announcer is local voice-over artist Carol Gallagher, who has served as Me-TV's staff announcer since its existence as a local programming format on WWME-CA and WMEU-CA, prior to its establishment as a national network; longtime voice-over artist Richard Malmos, who has been the voice announcer for Weigel's flagship station WCIU since December 1994, is the network's secondary announcer.
The network does not air a split-screen credit sequence or feature voiceovers promoting upcoming network programming during the closing credits (borrowing a format common in local broadcast syndication). Some Me-TV affiliates may not air certain programs due to either airing infomercials, public affairs programming, locally-acquired syndicated programming, or in some cases another station in the market having the rights to a particular program. To address this, Me-TV program promotions now display the fine print notation "On most Me-TV stations" during the timeslot card.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
