Why the new schedule is bad:
1) its slow - all the improvements and especially the images really help slow it down
2) the start times are not correct - I've tried to set the time zone and it is still wrong
3) the time zone setting does not stay set and having a slow site makes this more frustrating
4) the images add almost no value and slow down the site
5) you can no longer look a week in advance with one click - you have to click each day and the site is slow and adds to the frustration; I usually look a week ahead to plan my recordings
6) the monthly schedule is only the current month so you have to look thru a whole month of listing to get to the end of the month- more frustration with a slow site
7) on the 30th I could not look at the next month's schedule
8( I've read about the improvements for phones - all I imagine of this design is sucking up bandwidth like downloading the images without value
9) no more label for the primetime movie theme
10) no quick expansion to see a possible rating and review - in fact no more rating and Leonard Maltin review
The old schedule was imperfect:
1) the cast list did not always show the top billed actors - but only a small percentage of the time
2) the ratings did not always show even when the information was for a TCM perennial showing
So the value of the information has decreased. the developers got overpaid to deliver slow and clunky. I question if whoever worked on this really used the old schedule or watched TCM.
Please readdress the value of these changes!
