	C for CBS, W for Warner Brothers?

	Fixial:	Sep 12th, 2008 at 00:36 GMT	13 points
	3 minutes is not enough time to type broadcasting 6 times...

	Good Quiz, but way too case and spelling sensitive. I typed arts and entertainment several times and it did not take.

	spell it right and you won't have a problem. and the difference between company and corporation is what they call themselves... one suggestion; maybe accept bros for brothers?

	I agree with Taylor. Warner Bros. has been the official name of the parent company since its founding in 1923, not Warner Brothers.

	I agree with Adam. Way too short time

	This is not technically correct. CBS stands for nothing anymore. It long ago ditched "Columbia Broadcasting System" as the company name. It stands for nothing, like the "S" in "Harry S Truman."

	Yes, it's definitely Warner Bros., not Brothers.

	Needs at least seven, maybe ten minutes, I think. Knowledge-wise, I was nowhere on ESPN. Blanked on HBO, too, much to my dismay.

	Ha. I've been avoiding the CW because I thought it was country western. Got all the others, although I stuck for a while on the "S" in PBS.

	Corporation for BBC is because it is a state-owned body

	Good quiz. For the record though, there are no acronyms in the list. An acronym is a set of initials that is pronounced as a work, such as SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) or MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving).

	@pippy - A corporation is a type of a company. The guy who owns the general store has a company, but 7-11 is a corporation.

	ABC could equally mean "Associated British Corporation", which was the ITV London weekend franchisee between 1955 and 1968, when it merged with Rediffusion to become Thames. ABC could also mean "Australian Broadcasting Corporation" and its predecssor, the "Australian Broadcasting Comapny". Also, there's the "Asahi Broadcasting Corporation" in Japan, the Filipino "Associated Broadcasting Company" and ATV's intended name, which was also "Associated Broadcasting Company".

	there's a lot of Turner channels in there. Got 8.

	I typed in company instead of corporation for BBC and got frustrated. Got 10 though!

	Oh MTV, such a misnomer nowadays.

	CougarTim:	Sep 23rd, 2009 at 19:37 GMT	1 point
	I wonder how many of us that live in the Pacific Northwest got stuck on FSN. I only think of it as Fox Sports Northwest. D'oh! Got 10 right, however.

	I can't believe I never knew what espn stood for. Well except for the S which i couldve guessed.

	I correctly typed the answers in for CBS and NBC and they were both denied. GAH

	columbia/columbian, tomato tomahto

	I agree that you need more time because there are a lot of long words to type. Maybe another minute or two.

	myitbos:	Sep 3rd, 2010 at 15:54 GMT	1 point
	Not enough time...got eleven, even with bypassing CW. Two strikes on PBS (system?, station?) did me in. Need typing skills of at least 20 wpm to complete.

	big_sexy:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 12:44 GMT	1 point
	Time is fine. I had 53 seconds left, which was surely enough to type in CW's and PBS's acronyms had I known them

	Another "I'm an idiot" comment: For BBC, I tried System(s) and Service(s) for the C. Don't fret, I did finally manage to notice it was a C.

	TBS doesn't stand for Total Bull S***?

	itswhatiam:	Jul 1st, 2011 at 01:48 GMT	1 point
	It really should accept the '&' in Arts & Entertainment, since that's the name of the network...

	rgbiggordy:	Sep 13th, 2011 at 01:00 GMT	0 points
	MTV no longer stands for Music Television. It's just MTV now.
