How Did We Ever Live Without a DVR?

I know TiVo’s been around for a while now, but Wayne and I aren’t always the most up-to-date techy users. In fact, we’re usually well behind most trends.

It’s one way we can keep in constant contact and sometimes, it’s a series of leaving messages that the other responds to when they get back to their desk. February Sweeps Today launches what the television industry calls the February sweeps period. It’s when they pull out all the stops in order to entertain the audience and draw them in. Their numbers will help them determine what they … Continue reading →
