what channel Lifetime gives on
editHello! I was just wondering what channel Lifetime gives on... <redacted> I've searched non-stop to find out what channel but I just can't find it. So please! Help me out??!! --65.49.212.66 23:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)Linda--65.49.212.66 23:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Each cable company chooses which channels it wants to put each network on. In other words, Lifetime appears on a different channels depending on the region and/or cable company. --70.81.251.32 (talk) 02:06, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Weekend Schedule
editThere's a weekday schedule there - but does anyone know what the weekend schedule is? And if you do, could you add it? Or tell me what to add? (Also - are all the movies on the channel orginal movies, or are certain timeslots always orginal movies and certain other slots always real movies? That way I could color-code the schedule thing better. So please help me!) Emily (Funtrivia Freak) 05:52, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Can you please photograph the new Lifetime TV logo and place it on the Lifetime TV page?
editCan you please log on to http://www.mylifetime.com, make a photo copy of the new Lifetime TV logo and place it on the Lifetime Television page as soon as possible? AdamDeanHall (talk) 20:53, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Finally done. I wasn't going to just post that logo from there because I wanted a clean version. One came up on TV Squad today so I went for it. Nate • (chatter) 06:45, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Can you please relocate the Lifetime programs to a new page?

Discussion of the Sort of Language Used on Lifetime Television is Quite Germane
editUnless the purpose of Wikipedia is to serve as public relations, it is indisputably relevant to discuss the deterioration of the language used on Lifetime Television. Formerly, the language was respectful of the audience, but in recent years Lifetime Television has become more vulgar. Perhaps this is some quixotic attempt to try to sound more gritty and realistic, but it seems merely just a reflection of lowering of standards. Censoring serious issues is hardly a route to a good Wikipedia entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.153.18 (talk • contribs) 17 April 2009
- Your personal opinion has no place here. If there has been serious discussion of this in reliable sources, then the topic could be addressed. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:37, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Its Nature Needs to be Addressed
editThe TV network is created by gender feminist for gender feminist to feed on women's fears that they will be raped and murdered in their own lifetime and also promotes female supremacy and portrays the entire male gender in the most negative light possible. If you would like any sources to support my statement then go on any site both for it and against it or watch any of their moves which most if not all of them are mean spirited at best. There fore the article needs to be written in the nature that the network operates and portrays its work. --203.206.73.28 (talk) 11:16, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
If anyone has an opinion of weather or not the article should be rewritten from the perspective of an average viewer then let me know. --203.206.73.28 (talk) 11:16, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- Your personal opinion has no place here, 203.206, especially since you have some kind of bizarre vendetta against "gender feminists", whom you see behind every tree and under every bed. If there had been serious discussion of this in reliable sources, then and only then would the topic be addressed. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:37, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
It is not personal, it is general for anyone who isn't a feminist to view feminism as man haters. Look at TV Tropes page of the station and the tropes that are listed, it all points to them being both misogynist and misandrist. No I didn't invent the term Gender Feminist I learnt of its existence on this site which is now known as Equity and gender feminism. --124.149.88.171 (talk) 07:07, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Orange Mike--your "no place here" comments seem a bit stridently in favor of, and limited to, protecting the content of this network's article. There is no place here for condescension or PR agendas either. Let's be more respectful to others please. Alanrobts (talk) 11:38, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
More then half of feminism was destroyed by the network, it needs to be stated that it broke the back of their reputation just as the War on Terror has created a major increase of Islamophobia.--106.68.34.168 (talk) 11:42, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Requested move 1
edit- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was no consensus to move. Cúchullain t/c 16:03, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Lifetime (TV network) → Lifetime (TV channel) – Every channel has a tag at the end that says "TV channel". So why doesn't Lifetime have it? --Relisted Cúchullain t/c 13:23, 10 August 2012 (UTC) 24.164.159.145 (talk) 14:13, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
- Unsure - Trio (TV network), PBJ (TV network), Aspire (TV network), V (TV network), a few examples of the same use. IMHO we should look at the differences between Television network and Television channel. The greater question of naming consistency between X (TV channel) and X (TV network) might need to be discussed (or already has been) within the appropriate portal/community. --Education does not equal common sense. 我不在乎 00:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
- Comment – I moved them all. They should have been "TV channel", too. I fixed it. Bob Mono (talk) 00:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- Agree – I have seen other pages that have "TV channel'", so this should be, too. Bob Mono (talk) 00:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- I don't agree, as a channel is not the same as a network. NBC, for example is a network, not a channel. Should be discussed in the appropriate portal/community before just unilaterally applying one persons perspective. I did not give those examples for them to be changed, but to demonstrate that that specifier is also used.--Education does not equal common sense. 我不在乎 00:18, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- Comment - Bananas Monkey's decision to move V (TV network) to V (TV channel) is incorrect. The service is defined by the CRTC as a television network and is composed of several local stations scattered throughout the province of Quebec. █ EMARSEE 05:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- Agree. Lifetime is owned by A+E Networks and is therefore a "channel". Lifetime's even listed on its page as such. — WylieCoyote (talk) 22:42, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- Being owned by a company does not make it a channel. Lifetime refers to it'self as a network and a channel, in the same sentence. Their "name" is Lifetime Television, part of Lifetime Networks. About us page --Education does not equal common sense. 我不在乎 11:03, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Requested move 2
edit- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Not moved. Nobody seems to believe that any of the non-parenthesized longer forms are appropriate titles for this article. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 17:22, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Lifetime (TV network) → ? – This title is currently using the parenthetical disambiguation. I wanted the proposal to be either Lifetime Television, Lifetime Network, or Lifetime TV, but I don't know. Should we use natural or parenthetical disambiguation? Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 07:00, 4 November 2012 (UTC) --George Ho (talk) 06:43, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- Comment according to WP:AT natural disambiguation is preferred, but the outcomes of various move requests seems to indicate that parenthetical is currently preferred by our userbase. -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 06:17, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think any of the proposed natural titles are in common use. It's overwhelmingly just "Lifetime" and there's no single natural suffix that obviously applies. Parenthetical disambiguation is fine in such cases. Powers T 15:52, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Pat Fili-Krushel is the Executive Vice President of Administration of Time Warner Inc.
Before joining Time Warner in 2001, Fili-Krushel was President of ABC. When she quit, Disney president Robert Iger named Alex Wallau as acting head of the network. Prior to that position, she was president of ABC Daytime (ABC-D). Brian Frons replaced her as the head of ABC-D in 2002.
Before joining ABC in 1993, she had been with Lifetime Television (where she greenlit its first original primetime series, The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd, after the cable net picked it up from NBC in 1989) since 1988 as both Group Vice President of Hearst/ABC-Viacom Entertainment Services (HAVES), and Senior Vice President of Programming and Production of Lifetime Television. Fili-Krushel joined Lifetime from HBO, where she had been Vice President of Business Affairs and Production since December 1984.
Fili-Krushel holds a B.S. degree from St. John's University, and a M.B.A. degree from Fordham University.
In September 2012, Fili-Krushel made her second appearance on Fortune’s “50 Most Powerful Women” list. She has been recognized by New York Women in Communications, Inc. through their Matrix Awards for her contribution to the field of broadcasting. In 2006, she was inducted into the Museum of Television & Radio’s “She Made It” Collection.
She currently sits on the Board of Directors of The Public Theatre of New York, Oxygen Media, Inc., the Board of the Central Park Conservancy, the Board of Trustees of Fordham University, and Mayor Bloomberg's Commission on Women's Issues.

Removed info about former network
editI deleted this section because it appears to be about the network that preceded Lifetime, Viacom's Cable Health Network, which merged to form Lifetime in 1984. It is uncited and there is currently no wikipedia entry for the Cable Health Network.
The service originally aired women's daytime programming, and later, talk shows, Monday through Saturdays, and on Sundays from November 1983 to June 1993 carried programming for health professionals.

Because it is a recreation fantasy with the same plot as the Lifetime TV movies.--106.68.23.249 (talk) 10:27, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Bias needs to be addressed
editThis article reads like a PR piece--there is no content that presents any critical or dissenting view of the network or its programming. For example, Lifetime's original movies, which have received substantial negative press due to quality issues and tabloid approaches, are not addressed other than in a short, descriptive paragraph (an example omission: the Brittany Murphy biopic, which wasn't just panned--it was condemned). The entire article feels celebratory, despite the considerable controversy this channel has stirred for its latter decade at least, when it diverged from its original feminist format. Alanrobts (talk) 11:34, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Alanrobts, this is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, so feel free to try your hand at editing the article. But before you do be sure to read WP:V, WP:RS, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:WEIGHT, and WP:RECENT and apply those policies to your edits. Also keep in mind that Wikipedia discourages a separate section on "Criticisms", as that encourages excess. Generally criticisms should be briefly mentioned in other relevant sections of the article. Sundayclose (talk) 16:01, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
LRW separate article
editI propose that LRW get a separate article because it is its own channel and even though it may be a stub, it has sufficient information to stand on its own. Billboard Man (talk) 12:29, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
- Support Agreed Billboard Man, the article was previously separate but had its text wiped out and redirected without any consensus [11]. Seeing how there's plenty of sister channels with their own articles, I see why it can't. The article could more likely have been expanded by now with programming and history info but seems to have been neglected instead as part of the current article.

Lifetime Television for Women
editI distinctly recall it being called "Lifetime Television for Women" in the pre-digital cable days. This was later shortened to just , "Lifetime". This could've been a marketing gimmick for the New York area. I really don't know, but it's worth looking into. Wlmg (talk) 14:53, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Requested move 24 July 2024

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved. Single program feeds are to be disambiguated as (channel) per WP:NCBROADCASTING. The support votes have the guideline support here. (closed by non-admin page mover) Bensci54 (talk) 16:51, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Lifetime (TV network) → Lifetime (TV channel) – This is a TV channel, not a TV network, despite its multiple international feeds; active or defunct! Intrisit (talk) 11:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- This gets into a tangly problem. I tend to be Support here—if there is one unique feed of programming, it is a channel. But a lot of American English sources wouldn't agree, I suspect because "network" was an easy way to say in the early days of cable that these were national services like the traditional TV networks.

- Oppose: Lifetime is a cable network, like CNN is the Cable News Network, not the Cable News Channel, it's the Cartoon Network, not the Cartoon Channel. Even ESPN is the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network. It might be on channel 51 or whatever on your TV, but according to Nielsen, it's a cable network. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:30, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Funny seeing you mentioned that since both CN an CNN have "cable channel" in the lead sections of their respective articles here. This IS a TV channel. If you're in the US, no wonder! Intrisit (talk) 12:53, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well, then I recommend those be changed per source to list them as a cable network and not a cable channel...and yes, I am in the US. We have broadcast networks (eg: ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC), we have digital multicast networks (eg: MeTV, Heroes and Icons, AntennaTV), we have cable and satellite networks (eg: CNN, Cartoon Network, ESPN, Lifetime, Smithsonian Network), and we have premuium networks (eg: HBO, Showtime, Max/Cinemax). We don't call anything a broadcast channel here. Everything is broadcast, multicast, cable and satellite network, or a premium network. My !vote stands. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 13:48, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support. It is a singular cable channel like most others and should be disambiguated as such (like AMC (TV channel) and FX (TV channel))
- Support. It's a complicated issue. Logically, a single program feed is a channel. Waqar💬 16:51, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
