---------------------------------------
Q: Why are the television commercials louder than the shows?
A: The people who make television commercials compress the audio. The spaces between words become squeezed together in an attempt to make the maximum use out of a mere 30 seconds. In this process, all words become virtually identical in volume – a volume that appears to peak on audio meters. Television movies and programs also have audio levels that peak, but this occurs more infrequently. Generally, the producers of non-commercial programming prefer having a variety of audio levels. Quiet moments can be used for great dramatic effects. There is no time for that luxury in the much-shorter commercials.
---------------------------------------
Q: I missed my favorite show last night. Is there any way I can get a copy?
A: We broadcast our programming directly from network feed, and do not have a copy in house. Even if we did have a copy, we are not allowed to distribute copies because of copyright restrictions. Neither The CW nor other program distributors make the tapes available for sale. Your best bet to catch the show you missed would be to record a personal copy when the show is repeated.

Q: My favorite CW shows keep moving or disappearing. Can you put them back where they used to be?
A: Decisions regarding Kids WB! Programs and The CW Television Network primetime schedules are not made by the staff or management at Madison’s CW. Those decisions are made by our friends at The CW in Los Angeles. While Madison’s CW has the rights to air these shows, we don’t get to chose when (or if) they are shown.
---------------------------------------
Q: Why are there so many re-runs during the holidays and summer?
A: This is an excellent and one of the most frequently asked questions. Each individual episode can cost several hundred thousand or even millions of dollars to make so cost plays a major factor in how many shows can be produced. Typically, a full season for most shows is 12-26 episodes. A “typical” television season runs for 8-9 months. If a show produced 26 episodes, that’s still only 6 months of television to span over 8-9 months – re-runs fill in the other weeks. That’s why when it’s near a holiday or during the summer – when people are traveling to be with family or doing activities other than watching TV – we air re-runs.
