Season Non Network option

I just added Season 0 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and when I went to edit the Season 0 information to reflect that it only aired on KTMA, there is nothing to select for a not aired on a network or N/A in the list. It is bringing up SyFy for the network when the first season aired only on KTMA in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I know something like this does not happen often but we need something to put in the network info so the info will be maintained correctly. Just maybe either N/A or Non-Network.

Why not just add KTMA / WUCW (which it now is) as a network? (I'm not too sure which name would be used)

At the time of Season 0 when KTMA aired MST3K it was independent and not part of a network.

I looked for some way to change the network affiliation for Season 0 and did not find one. I used the link for Season 0 and the edit list that came up. All the network list itself came up with was a long list of network names in different countrys with no way to just choose or enter the station name. When you go into the link http://www.tvmaze.com/season/update?id=56140 you will see that the network it is airing on is defaulting to Syfy which is the network the last 3 seasons aired on. There is no way to just blank it out. From what I can discover about the station, at the time of MST3K's Season 0 airing, KTMA was a independent station and did not become affiliated with the CW until a later date. Am just suggesting a way to either blank out the network affiliation or ability to put None. I know this will probably not come up very often. But I just wanted to make the info as accurate as possible. I did put the KTMA into the Season 0 description so it is there.

You can unset items in a dropdown menu by choosing the empty option all the way at the top of the list.

I thought I made it required to choose either a network or a webchannel (like it is for shows) but that doesn't appear to be the case. So at least for now it can stay like this: http://www.tvmaze.com/seasons/56140/mystery-science-theater-3000-season-0 :)

Thanks David, I am sure this type of issue will not come up very often at all. It just stuck out like a sore thumb seeing the SyFi there as the network and knowing the info was wrong.
