Is it possible to find out what channels air what commercials?
There are some movie trailers that I hate, and change the channel as soon as I realize they’re on. I noticed that some channels (like Food Network) don’t play those trailers, and other channels (like SciFi) play them very often. Is there a way to find out which channels show which commercials/trailers?
Michelle answers:
Unless you know the specific ad you’re trying to avoid, and then also know someone who works there and would be able to get you the information on their ad buy, no, there’s no place to find out what channels air what commercials. Any product can buy any channel. The previous poster is correct in that you ca take an educated guess about which channels to avoid if you’re trying to avoid a specific commercial, but that would really only work for cable. The broadcast stations (cbs, abc, nbc and fox) have such broad reach and appeal that they get bought by everyone. In that case, you’ll have to avoid specific programming i suppose. But, you may not be guessing correctly! You’d have to know our business well to know why programming is bought. So, best of luck!

What is a good recipe to use chunks of beef tenderloin?
I recently bought a 4 pound whole beef tenderloin. I cut it up into a roast size portion, two steaks, and then I had just less than a pound of “stew meat size” pieces left. I am looking for a recipe that will make the most of the beef tenderloin chunks. I’ve tried allrecipes and food network, and I haven’t found what I’m looking for yet. Any suggestions??
After seeing these answers I should clarify.. this is good tender meat, I am not looking for anything that will cook it to death, like stew or crock pot recipes. The stir-fry and kebob ideas are closer…any more ideas?
Once I had Beef Tips Monterey in a restaurant. It was beef in a creamy sauce with cheese and onions I think, but I have no idea how to make that. Something along those lines is what I am looking for.
Michelle answers:
A very simple beef stir fry…. Season the beef cubes with a handful of grill seasoning, stir fry until just under the temperature you like (I prefer rare) then add a half onion chopped along with assorted chopped peppers and any other veggies you like!
Richard asks…
Where can i find a lot of information about the Food Network?
Year started, how it started, why it was started??? Etc…
Michelle answers:
Food Network is a television specialty channel that airs both one-time and recurring (episodic) programs about food and cooking. Scripps Networks Interactive owns roughly two thirds of the network, and Tribune Company owns the rest.
The network is seen in more than ninety million households. In addition to New York City, it has offices in Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit and Knoxville, Tennessee.
Food Network has launched internationally first in the UK on November 9, 2009 and in Asia from early 2010.[1]
Food Network was founded on November 23, 1993 as TV Food Network; its legal name is still Television Food Network, G.P. Within a few years, the network had shortened its on-air brand name. Joe Langhan, now an executive producer with the Wine Network[2] created the concept for Food Network in 1991 while working at The Providence Journal.[3]
Food Network is owned by Scripps Networks Interactive, a spin-off of E. W. Scripps Company. In 1997, Scripps acquired the Food Network from the A. H. Belo Corp. Corporation (in exchange for broadcast stations KENS-AM/TV in San Antonio, Texas), which had acquired the network through a takeover of The Providence Journal Company earlier that year.[4]
Sandy asks…
Next Food Network Star 2011?
I an voting for Orchid to win, second choice is Mary Beth. I can not stand to watch Penny. She is a catty, conceited woman and I would not watch any show she is on. She sabotages and is critical of other contestants she knows are better than her. Who are you hoping will win?
I hope she is eliminated this Sunday. Please, send her home and let the remaining contestants compete at their best.
Michelle answers:
I am a huge food network fan. This season on Next Food Network Star is very interesting so far. I would have to say that my favorite is definitely Orchid. She has a vibrant, outgoing personality and always has a huge smile on her face. I could picture myself watching her show because she seems very down-to-earth and likeable. I would say that in order for her to win, she needs to make sure all her dishes are on target, since sometimes the judges have not been a huge fan of her food. Overall though, I think she has what it takes to win this competition. I’m looking forward to see what happens! I also like Marybeth. She has stepped up her game a lot! I find her very entertaining to watch when she does her cooking demos. The dishes she prepares also look delicious. I definitely feel the females are stronger than the males this season. I really hope Penny goes home as well. She is a troublemaker, and I honestly could not picture myself watching her on TV.
