I couldn't agree more. IMDB has been one of my favorite websites (and apps) for years. I visit it multiple times every day. About the only thing that's missing from my perspective is information about what channel (or streaming service) a show airs on. That includes past shows no longer airing new episodes. Sometimes I want that information to help me find a show that's currently airing. But in other cases, I'm just curious about what network or cable channel a particular show aired on. With so much detailed information about TV shows dating back to the 1940s includes on each IMDB page, it seems like a glaring oversight to not say that a show aired on NBC or HBO or Amazon Prime. Please add that information.

The information is usually there, under distributors in the company credits, but is not strongly featured, especially in the apps.

yeah, but you have to click See More.  The TV Channel should be at the top of the page.

"Top of the page" approach probably won't work, since people can add TV channels (distributors) from all over the world. This could mean, in some cases, that there are a lot of different channels listed.

If a distributor has the order number 1 it could be displayed more prominently.
