TVLine

TVLine is a website all about television, covering shows on broadcast, cable, and streaming. The writers post casting news, recaps, reviews, interviews, and daily picks for what to watch. With the motto “All TV. No Interference,” TVLine follows networks and services like ABC, Netflix, and HBO. Site owner, Static Media, operates the site alongside sister brands like Looper and SVG. Some pages stay useful for months: Scorecard tracks whether more than 250 scripted shows will be renewed or canceled. Others include printable monthly calendars and a list of every new scripted show coming this year.

TVLine runs on WordPress. Writers post multiple stories a day, sorting each into WordPress categories. That way a reader can follow just Netflix, just daytime TV, or just renewals. WordPress also allows editors to keep updating older posts and pages. They add to the Scorecard and the calendars as the news comes in, instead of building those pages again each season. Static Media uses the same WordPress theme for many of its sites, so TVLine shares a similar setup with Looper and SVG but retains its own unique look.
