The Movie Database Support

...I thought I'd come here and ask a question.

MSNBC has changed their lineup on weekends and weeknights beginning the first week of May. I've been trying to maintain the Episode List for the weekend program The Weekend, which is now splitting into three different programs. What was originally The Weekend is becoming:

  • The Weekend - an expansion of the current weekend morning program from two to three hours Saturday and Sunday, hosts replaced
  • The Weekend: Primetime - an evening version of the same program with different hosts broadcast for three hours Saturday and Sunday
  • The Weeknight - a Monday through Friday primetime version of the original program with the original hosts

I thought the whole thing was straightforward thinking I would update the hosts for the original program and continue updating the current entry. I would create two new entries for the two new programs with names differing from the original.

However, as I started to do the new entry for The Weeknight and seeing the request for IMDb ID, I went to IMDb to get the code when I noticed that the original program on THAT database had been renamed with the new weeknight program which means it has the same IMDb ID. At this point, I stopped cold rather than creating what could be a bad situation.

I'm seeking guidance on how I should proceed.

Ciao for now!

FYI: Whoever jacked up IMDb has already jacked up both TMDb and trakt.tv, as whatever internal processes exist between these applications have already renamed the existing program as the program which, as of this writing, doesn't exist yet, including all historical data in all databases.

Awaiting response.

I've updated the new program with no database conflicts in IMDb or TMdb. I've discussed with the IMDB Support team about their database and they've corrected their entries, for the most part. I'm still uncertain what to do on TMDb, as it appears MSNBC is treating the morning version of "The Weekend" as a new series. I'm still waiting to hear from someone here on TMDb.
