How would you program Galavision’s lucha coverage

I am so glad you asked.

I change my mind on this often, depending on what the lag is like, what’s coming up, and how I feel about AAA at the moment. But these are my current thoughts.

I’m going with the presumption that
– GALA wants to air all the tapes they’ve got backloaded
– They’re not intersted in expanding the amount of hours of lucha they air.

Consistent with what they’re doing right now.

My Plan:

Saturday Afternoon: CMLL only. If there’s a two hour episode, it airs complete. If it’s just a one hour episode, you air two of them, and actually catch up a little bit.

Sunday Afternoon: Instead of Vuelta (which is sorta pointless when you’re this far behind), you repeat the same thing with AAA – two hours slot, how ever much they can fit in. No skipping ahead here.

Saturday Night/Sunday Morning: I always figure it’s the hardest of the hardcore who watch the awfulest slot. Let’s reward them: each week, the newest footage they have. It’s gotta fit in the two hour slot, and it’s pointless if this slot starts getting a lag as well, so you cut shows in half if you have to, but keep this slot as a little bonus for those willing to deal with it

(And take the CMLL half of the show and ship it to Telelatino. Keeps them happy.)

Eventually! you may catch up to the new shows. This will be a day of celebration and happiness throughout the western hempishere.

At that point, I’d need to re-evaluate how things are going, but my instinct is to put Vuelta back on Sunday (but turn it way back – as far as they can find tapes, and let’s hope they can find some tapes). Saturday’s shows would be the new stuff – if it all can’t fit in the afternoon, you split the shows and air one promotion during the day and one promotion at night (but switching them up week to week to keep it fair.)

Now – can anyone put in touch with someone who might be able to excute the plan? That’d be neat.
