A Special Announcement

After 1 year and over 125 editions, I decided to stop publishing the weekly top program list. The reason why? Because the TV listings section on the Gracenote website was apparently shut down last Wednesday. I usually use the Gracenote site for the upcoming programs airing on linear TV the following week, but unfortunately, the website was shut down like I said, last Wednesday, following the main source Zap2it took their listings offline in favour of the schedule page of the American pay-TV network NewsNation.

 Hello, this is Angelo. As you may expect, you've probably heard by now that I've reached 1,000 followers on Twitter/X as of yesterday. I'm a big fan of Lolirock, but I also like game shows such as Family Feud (and it's Canadian version), Jeopardy, Supermarket Sweep, Catch 21, and Common Knowledge. And let's be honest, I always do the Top TV programs of the night a few hours before primetime starts at 8pm ET! Without further adieu, let's watch the most popular video on Lolirock's official YouTube channel:
