TV fireworks: channels schedule 4th weekend marathons

By Dale Roe | Thursday, July 2, 2009, 09:59 AM

Our friend Charlie over at Interesting Pile has posted a list of TV show marathons airing over the July 4th weekend. It’s missing some pay cable offerings such as the “Nurse Jackie” marathon on Showtime on Saturday from 7-9pm CT but, for basic cable listings, it’s mighty comprehensive.

There’s something on this list — covering Friday, July 3 through Sunday, July 5 — for just about everybody, from “Twilight Zone” and “Hannah Montana” to “Ice Road Truckers.”

Thanks Charlie!
