Long before the announcement of the DC streaming service, I have wanted a network devoted to nothing but comic book based programming. In thinking about the network that is forthcoming, I thought about how you would program the daily line-up. I also considered what they could do for holidays. Granted, this is just a starting idea and there is plenty of room for additional programming. I present my ideas for your enjoyment:

Holidays
New Year’s: Countdown of shows as voted by the viewers
Valentine’s Day: Cupid episodes of Arrow, Valentine’s episodes of Supergirl and The Flash,
Romantic themed Lois & Clark episodes, and so on
St. Patrick’s Day: Green Lantern and Arrow, maybe tinted green for the day
Good Friday-Easter: Movies all weekend
Memorial Day: Season 1 of Wonder Woman
July 4th: Superman marathon
Labor Day: Powerless or other job oriented shows
Halloween: iZombie, Constantine, or Tales from the Crypt marathon
Thanksgiving: Thanksgiving episodes (Smallville, Chuck, Supergirl)
Christmas Eve/Day: Christmas episodes of all DC shows
There are other original show possibilities. They could do a series discussing the history of characters from DC and the other imprints (Midnighter & Apollo, Green Lantern, the Joker, iZombie, etc). Also, I think the perfect companion show to Titans would be The Question. It should be like a police crime proc3edural, and it would have a relatively low budget with few special effects needed. Anyway, feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think...
