Annoying jingle

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My mother-in-law lives with us and watches TV 24/7. She's hearing impaired, so the TV is extra loud.

Ion is my least favorite channel she watches due to the annoying jingle. So repetitive and annoying, they loop it incessantly. If I wake up in the middle of the night and hear it, I want to scream.

Please, for the love of God, change it up! Don't play the same three musical notes over and over.

Recent change in programs

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

For some reason Hawaii five o has been replaced with that terrible remake of magnum pi. The newer chicago pd and Chicago fire were already terrible.

Same with NCIS and svu leaving only blue bloods and Hawaii five o as the only reason to tune in.

Now it's down to blue bloods. Is ion trying to lose more viewers?

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Have to settle for the new shows, not that I like them.

Original review Apr 25, 2025

The new episodes are just terrible of Magnum P.I. and other sitcoms.

I would love to see the old episodes. Even shows such as The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams!

I was sick of those shows 40 years ago. To each his own, but this viewer has had enough.

I neither desire nor appreciate apologies. I cut the cable several years ago with no regrets.

Programming change.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

ION has done a 180 in their programming. I used to watch ION a lot.

I liked their reruns of a variety of different shows.

Now they only carry the Chicago shows and the rest of the time have shows that are of no interest to me or to my friends. Please change back.

Please continue to show Blue Bloods since CBS canceled their show.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I already emailed you earlier today, requesting to take off Chicago Fire and PD. They've been on for a long time.

Please add Chicago Med. We need more variety in shows.

Also, NCIS, NCIS New Orleans, and Criminal Minds have been on for a long time. Please don't take off Blue Bloods since CBS canceled them.

It is Friday and after 10a.m. Remake Hawaii Five-0 is SUPPOSED to be on. That is my reward for living thru the week. I make all my many doctor appts around Hawaii Five-0. Where is it??!!! When will b

I waited on the time to be 10:00a.m. today, Friday.

I turned to the Ion channel to watch my reward for hardships of life, Hawaii Five-0. It was NOT on. I looked at the guide. Hawaii Five-0 was not listed.

I checked to make sure today was indeed Friday. I rechecked the clock to make sure it was after 10:00a.m. Those factors were correct, but Hawaii Five-0 was NOT ON!!! Where is it?

When will it be on? Is it no longer on your schedule? Do I have to purchase the dvd set of Hawaii Five-0?? I am a disabled senior citizen with a disability amount the same or lower than the state poverty level.

I cannot afford to buy the dad's. I already pay Directv almost $200.00/mo, because tv is my only entertainment. I don't go to movies or subscribe to magazines or other TV or movie sites. Because of my very painful health conditions, all I can do for entertainment is watch TV.

That is why I still pay Directv that exorbitant amount of my disability check. That exorbitant amount doesn't even include any updates of extra programming. It is basically the basic program amount, plus the numerous fees just to get more out of the more desperate Directv consumers.

Please tell me when the remake Hawaii Five-0 will be broadcast. I guess I will have to change my doctor appts to your new schedule, but I will, if remake Hawaii Five-0 is being changed.

I visited Hawaii for a long vacation once.

This show brings back everything I learned about Hawaii and the glorious locations. Remake Hawaii Five-0 was great with their offset location scenes. As I said earlier, remake Hawaii Five-0 is my reward for continued living. I have made all appts with my many doctors AROUND Fridays, from 10:00a.m.

through 5:00p.m., even surgeries. So when will you be airing remake Hawaii Five-0?

There is only one positive to not seeing remake Hawaii Five-0 today, and that is turning to the Heroes and Icon channel to watch the original Hawaii Five-0. It showed some of the beauty of Hawaii, but not as much as remake Hawaii Five-0.

Again, PLEASE tell me when remake Hawaii Five-0 will be on the ion channel.

Hawaii 5-0 is a punishment, not a reward. Book 'em Dan-o.

Guest

Are you sure it is not set to Eastern Time? Most guides default to it.

Also, was a news or sports event playing. They get interrupted often for those.

Guest

According to listings, it is now on Wednesdays 6am-11am. FYI, Ion and Heroes and Icons are both free over the air viewable with a $20-$30 HD antenna.

If your location is as listed, Google “Bellevue WA Tv Passport”. It will show the many, many free channels available.

Ion is your area’s channel 33.1 and H&I is 44.1. All your locals are also there.

Forgot to add, you are getting MAJORLY ripped off if you are paying $200/month for just TV.

I like ION tv, can you please change some of your programming? I request Chicago Med. Chicago Fire and PD has been on your programming for a long time. Thank you!

I'm not upset, just want to change some of the programming. Add Chicago Fire, take off Chicago Fire and PD. You show the same programs, like NCIS and NCIS New Orleans and Criminal Minds.

Lousy basketball telecast

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Commercials injected as play goes on, reducing play to ~ 1/8 screen; conduct interviews while game goes on, reducing play to part screen; commentators talk constantly with little worth hearing. The scorecard display lacks information about total fouls per team, etc.

Glut of commercials

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This evening while watching my favorite program, "Bluebloods" in the first show I counted 81 commercials. The first one was only 4 minutes into the show!

In one commercial segment there were 17 commercials. Actually "ION" should call itself the "shotgun" commercial channel.

To add to the growing disgust several of them were "repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat ad nauseum! Once upon a time in a TV land far away the commercials weren't LONGER THAN THE DAMNED PROGRAM!! Why even bother with a program...just shoot commercials out the whole time!

Forget continuity or enjoying the program...just slam the commercials in like a shotgun. Oh, and some of these "commercials" should be at least R rated.

View full review

User's recommendation: If you don't mind shotgun commercials, armpits and "other disgusting commercials" go for it. If you're sick and tired of commercials that should be rated R...dump ION.

My parents gave up on that show because of the issue of commercials.

Or instead you can change the channel. ION is a free over-the-air channel you can get with an HD antenna. Don’t complain about something that is free.

Tired of looped program commercials

You all play the same TV program commercials in a loop nonstop! (Chicago Fire, NCIS, Law N Order SVU, Magnum P.I, Chicago PD, FBI, colorful Ion will be right back, then the same loop) goes off again and the same thing.

I have to mute my TV! Then 2 min actual commercials.

Like, man, come on! Look at the timelines.

Why did you take the show off and put Magnum PI on? That's the worst show ever.

I look forward to every Friday to watch Hawaii Five-0, not Magnum PI. Very disappointed customer.
