== "coordinates in conjunction" ==
 
[[User:Omizzle77|Omizzle77]] recently added information about [[We Interrupt this Week]]. I'd appreciate a clarification of what the last sentance of his edit is supposed to mean:
 
"...as the first game show ever to be televised on the [[Public Broadcasting System]], which coordinates in conjunction with [[NPR]]."
 
As far as I know, NPR and PBS are seperate entities, with some natural crossover. Is this sentence erroneously trying to claim that they are the same entitiy, or is it saying PBS has a hand in coordinating only this program? I'm afraid I can't tell what the message was supposed to be well enough to correct it... [[User:CS42|~CS]] 22:30, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 
:Incoherency seems to be only one of its problems.
 
:My read is that the writer is trying to claim some sort of direct connection between PBS and NPR -- a common mistake -- but a bigger concern is the claim that WWDTM is based directly on this earlier TV show. I've never heard this nor of the show, and I'd like to some outside source for it.
 
:I've removed it pending a cite (like, say, a Doug Berman interview saying so). --[[User:Calton|Calton]] | [[User talk:Calton|Talk]] 23:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
