Part 1: Please update second last paragraph, Acquisition by Ronald N. Stern section

• Specific text to be edited: Second to last paragraph in Ronald N. Stern section

In recent years, the channel has reduced its reliance on acquired library programming and increased its investment in new original content, including both Canadian-based productions (such as ''[[Cam Boy]]'', ''[[Fak Yaass]]'', ''[[Group Sext]]'' and ''[[Call Me Mother]]''), and as a production partner in American content (such as [[Jonny McGovern]]'s talk show ''[[Hey Qween!]]'', [[Ginger Minj]]'s cooking show ''Wigs in a Blanket'', [[Willam Belli]]'s courtroom show ''Iconic Justice'', and ''[[The Boulet Brothers' Dragula]]'').

In recent years the channel has reduced its reliance on acquired library programming and increased its investment in new original content. Initial Canadian-based productions included ''[[Cam Boy]]'', ''[[Fak Yaass]]'', ''[[Group Sext]]'' and ''[[Call Me Mother]]''. American co-produced shows included [[Jonny McGovern]]'s talk show ''[[Hey Qween!]]'', [[Ginger Minj]]'s cooking show ''Wigs in a Blanket'', and ''[[The Boulet Brothers' Dragula]]''. The channel received some of its highest ratings for the Canadian airings of the ''[[RuPaul's Drag Race]]'' franchise. OUTtv also produced [[aftershow]] features for the show, with [[Richard Ryder (comedian)|Richard Ryder]] in character as drag queen Wilma Fingerdoo.

Why do we need to update the section so that it only focuses on the most recent original productions while burying noteworthy older ones? There's no problem with adding the new stuff to the article, but why would we need to take older stuff away from it? Bearcat (talk) 17:39, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Bearcat, the older programming was requested to be grouped together to remain in the article, (please see previous coi request "Part 1: Please update second last paragraph, Acquisition by Ronald N. Stern section"), with newer programming arranged together into the Programming section in this "Part 2" request – while avoiding duplication of information into both sections. But absolutely, if you are able to move all programming old and new to the Programming section - well that would be fabulous! I do hope that between the two edit requests "Part 1 and Part 2", that no information was removed. I agree, no information should be taken away from the article. If you are able to take the information and citations from both these unfulfilled coi requests, and move them all, along with other programming listed in the "Acquisition by Ronald N. Stern" section, to the Programming section of this article... well that would be outstanding. I could then remove the two coi edit tags from my requests. Thanks for your remarks Bearcat. -- Oshentree (talk) 19:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

 Done I don't know if this is an improvement but it certainly seems unobjectionable from a COI perspective and has been languishing for months. Rusalkii (talk) 05:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Rusalkii. This is great, I really appreciate your assistance in updating the programming sections. --17:35, 28 August 2024 (UTC) Oshentree (talk) 17:35, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

@Oshentree: I noticed it said disregard at the top, does that mean you no longer want this edit request answered? ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 21:47, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi ARandomName123. It would certainly be great if the request was answered. I thought maybe it wasn't being done due to the lack of an impartial enough source. I was thinking I could update the source later without deleting the request, but maybe that was not the correct way to go about it. If you think the source I have here is ok though, I will update my request by removing the strikethrough and "Disregard."Oshentree (talk) 00:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

@Oshentree: If you have a better source (preferably one that isn't just an casting call) feel free to ping me and I'll implement the edit. If not, just remove {{edit COI}} from this section. On a side note, the most probable reason your request hadn't been answered is that there simply isn't enough editors to handle all the requests, so some may languish in the queue for quite a while without a response or even a look. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 01:09, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you ARandomName123, I don't have a better source yet, but will do once it's available. --Oshentree (talk) 01:49, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
