I am trying to find this on google or anywhere else TV guide, ect… but cant seem to find it. I want to find the top watched channels on TV. Not the top watched shows. Most of the top 100 shows are all on the same 5 or so channels. I want to find the top 25 channels as far as most watched/ highest rated. Anyone think the can help? ---

Looking for a general list. I might just start a new thread for it and get everyone’s opinions. I am doing an install on a hotel next week and the owner want a suggestion on what channels to add to his line-up. I don’t watch a lot of TV so I am not the best to suggest them. ---

If I had to pick 25 to represent the biggest cross-section I’d probably go NBC CBS ABC FOX ESPN ESPN2 MSG CNN FOX NEWS (UGH) MSNBC Comedy Central Cartoon Network Nickelodeon Discovery Weather Channel TBS TNT USA Spike Lifetime (UGH) MTV (UGH) VH1 HBO Showtime PPV Lots of sports but all it takes is for a game to be on and not get it and you’ll have a lot of pissed off guests. ---

LOL I think you can tell them it’s for me. Keep in mind the it’s being run 1/2 as a motel and 1/2 as apt building. No I’m not putting porn on there either. Heck some of the people don’t even turn on the TV :angryhump:. Thanks ---

I could see no sabres games pissing people off a lot. Some people are freaks about missing them. Maybe less at a hotel since a lot would be from out of town. ---

> [@Joe](#): > > I could see no sabres games pissing people off a lot. Some people are freaks about missing them. Maybe less at a hotel since a lot would be from out of town. MSG does not play the sabres games on satellite anyway. We would have to dedicate a alternate sports station to it. It would not work out well for all the time there are not games on (it would be a blank station when no game is on) ---

Hmm yeah…could you bump one of the other channels during Sabres games or is it a fixed tune thing? I always wondered how the hotel systems worked, whether they had to have 20 different receivers all outputting on different channels or whatever ---
