They're going to air "STAR TREK" instead.

Could they get any more dull? TNG is a whore for dead airtime-At least they could run DS9, it hasn't been run for a while... or here's a thought -COME UP WITH SOMETHING NEW!!!

I'm sure it costs them next to nothing to air TNG since they've had the rights to it for so long. What doesn't make sense is that they must have paid Warner Brothers a good chunk of change for the rights to TSCC. How do they justify paying for something then not broadcasting it?

Skyney became self aware and then decided it didn't want anyone to know what it was up to.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Running the show in a 4 hour block means fewer people are likely to stay with it the whole time. Running them once weekly will give them a longer run and better returns.

And maybe, the ratings just sucked so hard as to not make it worth the programming slot. Passe as it may be, TNG is still very popular. T:TSCC never was.

I don't know if I'd call it a "whore," but I am with you that DS9 or Voyager reruns would be cool. For awhile when I was in college, Spike aired DS9 then TNG and then Voyager from about 10 in the morning to five in the afternoon. I nearly failed a couple classes (not really, A's all the way. I just forgot girls existed. Wow, out-of-body, meta-nerd moment...)

I could definitely stand to see DS9 on the air again. Voyager.... not so much.

I'm thinking that the fact that the entire series of T:TSCC is available on Netflix instant queue is not helping ratings. Why sit through commercials and possibly miss episodes when you can watch it anytime online?
