In recent years, the channel has reduced its reliance on acquired library programming and increased its investment in new original content, including both Canadian-based productions (such as ''[[Cam Boy]]'', ''[[Fak Yaass]]'', ''[[Group Sext]]'' and ''[[Call Me Mother]]''), and as a production partner in American content (such as [[Jonny McGovern]]'s talk show ''[[Hey Qween!]]'', [[Ginger Minj]]'s cooking show ''Wigs in a Blanket'', [[Willam Belli]]'s courtroom show ''Iconic Justice'', and ''[[The Boulet Brothers' Dragula]]'').

Why do we need to update the section so that it only focuses on the most recent original productions while burying noteworthy older ones? There's no problem with adding the new stuff to the article, but why would we need to take older stuff away from it? Bearcat (talk) 17:39, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Bearcat, the older programming was requested to be grouped together to remain in the article, (please see previous coi request "Part 1: Please update second last paragraph, Acquisition by Ronald N. Stern section"), with newer programming arranged together into the Programming section in this "Part 2" request – while avoiding duplication of information into both sections. But absolutely, if you are able to move all programming old and new to the Programming section - well that would be fabulous! I do hope that between the two edit requests "Part 1 and Part 2", that no information was removed. I agree, no information should be taken away from the article. If you are able to take the information and citations from both these unfulfilled coi requests, and move them all, along with other programming listed in the "Acquisition by Ronald N. Stern" section, to the Programming section of this article... well that would be outstanding. I could then remove the two coi edit tags from my requests. Thanks for your remarks Bearcat. -- Oshentree (talk) 19:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

 Done I don't know if this is an improvement but it certainly seems unobjectionable from a COI perspective and has been languishing for months. Rusalkii (talk) 05:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Rusalkii. This is great, I really appreciate your assistance in updating the programming sections. --17:35, 28 August 2024 (UTC) Oshentree (talk) 17:35, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
