We're a group of Canadians Buffy fans and we're trying to convince YTV (the TV station that shows BTVS in Canada) to change Buffy time slot so that it will be on, on Monday or Tuesday like everywhere else. If you want to help us (which would be greatly appreciated). Just send an e-mail to YTV (info@ytv.ca ) and tell them how great it would be if BTVS would be on Tuesday. Maybe if we all send them an e-mail they'll listen to us? Please take a minute to drop a line at YTV (info@ytv.ca ). Even if this doesn't affect you directly. Think about your poor old fellow Buffy fans who have to wait until Saturday to see the show!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!By the way, some parts of Canada don't get the WB. This is the reason why we're asking you for your help. The show only plays on YTV in these cities.
And to all of you that want Angel the lost soul to be on YTV. Don't forget to tell them. Last time I asked YTV if they would air the show they didn't even know that Buffy the vampire slayer had a spin-off !!!!!
Here's what they've told me:
Hi Stephanie:
Thanks for taking the time to contact us. It is always nice to hear from our viewers and your questions are important to us. Please accept our apologies for the delay in responding. Due to the volume of mail we receive on a daily basis, it is sometimes difficult to respond as quickly as we would like.
Currently, we do not have any information regarding a potential 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' spin-off called 'Angel'. Also, we cannot tell you whether or not this series will be aired on YTV.
With this said, be assured that your comments will be forwarded to our Programming Department for future consideration.
Thanks for watching and remember to keep it weird on YTV!

YTV finally answered us! Here's what they had to say:
"Thanks for taking the time to write to us. We always appreciate hearing from our viewers and your questions are important to us. Please accept our apologies for the delay in responding. Due to the volume of mail we receive on a daily basis, it is sometimes difficult to respond as quickly as we would like.
We are sorry to hear that our recent scheduling of 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' has been disappointing for you. The episode that you're looking for, titled: "The Wish" aired on Saturday, December 12 at 7pm E/P. The next episode in this series titled: "Amends" aired on Saturday, December 19, at 10pm E/P and December 25, at 12am E/P. Currently, neither of these episodes are scheduled to repeat.
We are currently broadcasting season three of this series, however do not have all episodes available in-house. We receive 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' on an episode by episode basis and therefore may not have a new episode each week. We hope you can understand that we are unable to broadcast new episodes if they aren't delivered. With this said, the next new episode, titled: 'Gingerbread', is schedu led to air on January 16 at 7pm E/P, provided delivery occurs when expected.
'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' regularly airs Friday at 12am E/P and Saturday at 7pm E/P on YTV. Currently, episodes from Season Two are aired during the Friday night rotation while new episodes are aired on Saturday, when available. Our contract to broadcast episodes from Season One has expired and therefore these episode are not available to air on YTV.
Sincerely,
YTV Viewer Relations Department"
