many a show has died a horrible death by having a Wednesday night timeslot... this sounds like the WB kiss of death to me... although I guess pairing it with Dawson's Creek won't kill the show...hopefully it's fans will follow it's change... anytime a network changes a shows timeslot around a few times, it ends in cancellation...

This is a smart move. The move to Sundays in the first place was stupid on the WB's part. At least now with the move to Wednesdays it doesnt' ahve much competition. Amazing Race should be off by then, and at least for me, I hate Life With Bonnie.

Sopranos Season 4 is done in 2 weeks. The only competition is Alias in the 9 p.m. slot on Sunday.
It looks like I'll get 2 more hours of sleep come this January...

Life with Bonnie is on Tuesday.
Not a big fan of this move. I hated the move to Sunday too. It got very crowded with Angel, Criminal Intent, The Sopranos, and Alias. I'd bump The Sopranos to the West Coast feed, watch Alias live in HD-TV and record the others. This move frees my Sunday up a bit, but now my Wednesday is packed again. I'll have to catch the lame MTV repeats of Fastlane.
Wednesdays at 9pm was one of the most contested timeslots this season, but I guess with The Bachelor 2 and The Amazing Race 3 finishing up, that lightens the load a bit.

Yup, I have no idea what the networks will pop in that timeslot when Amazing Race is done and the Batchelor 2 is now done. Most will still watch The West Wing (which I don't, so not a problem for me).

I also had to grab HBO on the midnight showing so I couldn't watch it until Monday. With all the shows I tape on Sunday, I usually did not catch up watching them all week. Alias, I really enjoy and I've been having to watch it later in the week.
Maybe now Angel is on Wednesday I can finally get rid of The Twilight Zone.

I think it's a good move. I had to tape Angel and watch it later because Alias was on.
Havent had anything to watch on Wednesdays since Felicity left the air.
From what I have read, I think Angel was doing pretty good on Sundays conisdering the competition. Not that far away from Buffys ratings.

The show isn't lame, but the repeats on MTV kinda suck. MTV is by far the worst channel when it comes to staggering start times of shows so you miss the beginning or end of something. Combine that with their hand in the death of the good music, and I try to avoid watching anything on there if I don't have to.

P.S. I too had read more than once that Angel was doing well on Sundays despite the genre competition. I hope it's moving because they have confidence in its strength.

I'm glad to hear this. I missed this season entirely due to my local channel airing Angel at 11 pm on Sunday nights. When the World Series was on, Angel was pushed back into the wee hours of Monday morning. Since I didn't know when to set my vcr due to the shows being pushed back, I figured I'd just wait for the reruns. I didn't know there wouldn't be any after the last episode aired a couple of weeks ago.
I can't wait for it to come back on so I can see what I missed. Wednesday nights are much better for me.

I usually have to tape the few shows I watch anyway, so my only concern is how will the move affect the ratings... Angel has been holding strong, maintaining its modest fan base. Wed is a pretty weak tv night (Amazing Race 3 has been doing bad) so maybe they are hoping Angel will preform even better on a lackluster night. Hope fans latch onto the move.

My WB channel started showing Angel reruns last night at the same 11 pm time slot. I don't know if they plan on moving it or not. I'm going to call them and see.
