[zeebre12]

Why does Ion show so few programmes..?all it seems to show is Ghost Whisperer, Cold Case, Blue Bloods and Law and Order over and over again..can anyone explain why?

Don't forget Criminal Minds.

Yep. I've been rewatching some of the first two seasons. They are also airing the Suspect Behavior episodes. Ion also shows quite a few movies.

Also Flashpoint & The Listener. And a block of QUBO programming on Sunday mornings for the kids.

Actually, ION's ratings are pretty good, so I would think this isn't financial. I believe they hold exclusive licenses for all those L&O shows and they are popular with a certain segment, i.e. 25-50 yo viewers.
